Hello Sara,
Thanks for you email.
Following are my answers for you questions.
1) Does it use the new Epson controller? Or the standard one put out
by Viziplex?
eSlick do not use the new Epson controller. And the Epson controller is not available right now.
I think it may probably be released in Aplir. Yes, it is the standard one put out by Viziplex.
2) What is the upgraded higher quality screen? Is it still glass or
has the jump been made to plastic?
It is still glass.
3) Will a protective case be available for it?
No, there is not a case with it.
4) Is the battery user-replaceable? If so how much will the
replacements be and where can they be obtained?
Yes, you can replace the battery. We will also sell the spare parts of eSlick on our website soon.
Please sign up newsletter of eSlick on our website that you will be updated the newest information of eSlick immediate.
Please let me know if any questions. Thanks!
