In case anyone has been wondering, Wilyfox have advised me that they are hoping to have their official accessories available by January 2016. I am guessing that the accessories are probably subject to the vagaries of timing of shipments from China and clearance by HM Customs. For details they recommend registering on their site to be advised of their availability.

Can't wait, it feels a bit vulnerable without a case, I'd like a window flip cover integrated into the back cover (like my Samsung galaxy S4) with auto screen on/ off.

I'm excited for the official accessories as well

Although, I'm getting my hopes up mostly for a few extra cables. The frost case looks really cool and hopefully down the line there will back covers as well with that color option..

As for the auto screen on/off, I don't believe the Swift has this functionality. I used a fridge magnet to test it and the Swift doesn't respond at all while it works like a charm on both my Nexus 7s 2012/2013.

Auto screen on off can use the proximity sensor, I did on my mi4. I also use it on the wileyfox but it is less useful as the proximity sensor is on the right very close to the top of the screen so pulling the notification bar down often results I spurious activation

My main accessory would be if Wileyfox can sell additional batteries for the Swift. Maybe even a higher capacity one? One can only hope they will release a higher capacity battery for this great device!

The official cases for the Swift are sold through Clove. Although 3rd party ones seem to be better.

I just saw that on amazon uk, they have listed the battery banks- 27 gbp a pop for 10000mAh. I dig the looks and maybe will get one later on just to compare it to my RavPower 16000mAh powerbank.

No word on spare batteries or cables... I don't know if spare batteries are available for the sister models (General Mobile 4G, Cherry Mobile G1, etc).

PS: I am wrong about "No word on spare batteries". They did tweet about it a few weeks ago: https://twitter.com/Wileyfox/status/703933881490268160
