DIMPLE operates by harvesting energy that your Android NFC enabled device radiates, thus- DIMPLE will never run out of juice. Ever!
DIMPLE is just 0.5mm thin- that is just about the same as five human hairs stacked on top of each other xD. Each button has a patented grove and a braille dimple for easier recognition.
Designing a metal body forces the engineers to get creative. The result of this creativity is that the NFC antenna is located around the camera ring. You would have to sacrifice the camera to make the DIMPLE work. No cases or covers will solve this.
Based on our approximations there are currently around 800 devices with which the DIMPLE will work. This sadly excludes HTC One, Nexus 6P, Sony XZ, Oneplus 3 and others because of their metal body. Creating a device out of metal usually requires the engineers to make some sacrifices in terms of antenna location. This affects our customers' ability to position DIMPLE ergonomically. So, if your device runs Android 4.0 and above, is not made entirely out of metal, and has NFC technology, you are safe to assume that DIMPLE will work with it.
Yes. From the first generations that only just introduced the NFC functionality up to the Galaxy S8. Watch out for aftermarket batteries for Note 3 and Galaxy S4 without NFC antenna in them.
Yes. Top glass part.
Can't help you, sadly. If you already bought one for your Apple device- please get in touch to return the product for a refund.
Even though the adhesive used allows for easy removal, each time you remove a DIMPLE from your devices surface the adhesive properties will deteriorate and that may compromise the longevity of the DIMPLE.
In close proximity to the NFC antenna of the device. For most gadgets it means rear rear side of the device. For tablets it means a part of the rear side.
DIMPLE can be attached directly to your case instead of to the surface of your device. Unless the case is made out of metal, you should be fine.
We have engineered the buttons impossible to be pressed unintentionaly. The buttons are flush with the surface of the DIMPLE.
If you applied the DIMPLE carefully, the adhesive should outlast your gadget upgrade cycles. Our tests have concluded that each button can withstand about 2 million clicks, and you can reassign the functionality of around 100,000 times before the button memory wears out.

You can't use DIMPLE.IO On an iPhone due to the fact that Apple has chosen to limit the use of NFC in their devices to just Apple Pay. Hopefully it will be opened to a broader audience soon. You can use DIMPLE.IO on Windows Phone and Blackberry by using a third party app.
It's simple. Make sure you have Tasker installed. Enable external app access in the Tasker settings. Install the DIMPLE.IO app. Select a Tasker task from within the DIMPLE.IO app.
It's free. Even to Antarctica.
Yes, the cool thing is that the buttons still work under water, unlike the capacitive screen.
