I've never tried wearing a non-metal ring before, so I don't have any credible argument on that point.... but, I can imagine it would definitely have a very different feel.

Thanks... would be happy to share some ideas with Chris. I appreciate it!

If you want that dude, there's a presence on IRC freenode in #nfcring, drop by and have a chat.

yeah it seems to be an problem with that USB port.

What you could do there is put it in the keyboard so that about 1 centimetre worth of edge is accessible, with the rest under whatever else you've got in there. You'd have to test with your ring to figure exactly how/where you're consistently triggering, with the v3 unit I get good reads from the side within 4mm, following the direction of the antenna loop at up to 10mm and over the center of the board for slightly more distance in the right orientation.
You could also play around with disabling the integral antenna and using your own loop antenna with it.

So cool! I really like this kind of project, great job :D

Just have multiple rings. :)

You know us geeks are just dying for an "NFC-only" jewellery box, right? :))

To be honest while I thought it was a cool idea, and toyed with backing it, it looks to be a pretty chunky ring and I don't know that it'd be all that comfortable. I think we've got a way to go before self powered devices can be compact enough.
