Barclay Enterprises so called "permanent" keypad is a
blatant copy of our old membrane keypad.
Not an improvement! Barclay spent
over a year viciously attacking our membrane keypad and our
lifetime warranty. They falsely claimed Panasonic fixed the keypad
issue and there was nothing wrong with the original keypad.
After almost two years of attacks, they
copy our old discontinued membrane keypad (claiming they
have the only one) and offer their own undefined
(self-voiding)
lifetime warranty.
Now they admit the
original keypad is flawed!
After
selling hundreds of them as "new version" keypads.
Their
membrane does not solve the
size problem! (See below) |
Proven!
|
Barclay Enterprises "Lifetime Warranty" is SELF VOIDED by the
exact reason the keypads break! They made
up a fictitious "spittle" theory to explain the oily build-up
inside the sealed rubber gasket keypad. This build-up is
considered abuse because you eat and drink (and spit) when talking
on the phone. However, the build up is oil based and seeps from
the original OEM Panasonic keypad... the same keypad their
"improved" membrane relies on to operate... the same keypad with
the small contact size that pushes down only in a small center
area of their membrane keypad.
Read this engineering topic that proves the problem is NOT spit.
Proof they are lying about their
warranty using nothing but their own advertising! |

At the top of
their "Improved Keypad" auction they show a picture of what looks
like a complete rubber keypad with large black conductive contacts.
HOWEVER! The "improved keypad" is a paper thin CLEAR sticker
membrane with black painted circles. The pictures here show an
original OEM Panasonic keypad with Barclay's copy of our membrane
repair stuck to it.
This is an intentional trick to make people believe they are
getting a real 3-dimentional improved rubber keypad.
Blatant Lie: The
industry's only truly improved keypad.. |
| Barclay includes a simple
description of the real "improved" part of the keypad in a small
area in the center of the auction... they KNOW most people will not
read every detail and will focus on the top and bottom of the ad. |
 |
At the bottom of
the auction is another larger picture showing the Perma-Pad.
However, you cannot tell from this picture that the larger contacts
are from painted circles on a clear, paper thin sticker. The small
contacts (on the left) push down only on the center of the
conductive sticker (right) and do not significantly increase the
size as the description claims.
Blatant lie:
No other keypad on
the market --- including other "improved" keypads --- has bigger
button contacts! |
Question: Why would you need an
extended 3-year warranty on a part that is guaranteed to last forever?
Up to 3 years added
protection
Only pennies a day!

Barclay Enterprises takes extra steps to hide
misleading statements. When you list an auction on eBay, the text
becomes a permanent record for about 12 months. Barclay now
changes misleading statements (such as "FCC Authorized") to
graphics while leaving other areas untouched. The only reason we
can think of to do this is because they can then change the
graphics (stored on their own server) any time they run into
problems. |
Fact!
Barclay continues to confuse customers with
false information about why the original keypads break. Their
"permanent" keypad still relies on the original defective keypad
to work and they need these lies to continue.
Barclay falsely claims the sticky oil
from the OEM keypad is spit. In our opinion, any
intelligent person with even the slightest knowledge of the
internal workings could not possibly believe this.
Barclay's termed "environmental gunk" that builds up in the keypad
is not spittle or food particles!
 |
Cheaply designed keypads seep oil. This is a undeniable
FACT.
Engineering forum on the topic |
|
The
sticky oil cannot be from food or spit! It is found in 100% of
these phones and is exactly the same in every single one. In
fact, as the keypads yellow from age, so does the oil. |
|
Just
to eliminate any possible doubt, we crushed a few brand new
Panasonic keypads between paper and steel plates using a
machine press. Wouldn't you know it... spittle came out!
soaking the paper!! Amazing... those Japanese must be spitting
on the mold to allow easy removal of the final product. There
is no other possible explanation (say's Barclay) |
|
The
rubber keypad forms a rubber gasket seal. Food and spittle
cannot get in. You can dunk these phones in Pepsi Cola and it
will not get inside the keypad. |
|
Barclay reverently denied the other very obvious problem with
the original keypad for over a year. Now they admit they
knew the conductive contacts were too small in their own
advertisements. |
|
Corrosion is from condensation not spit and is
found inside some phones but not under the rubber
keypad. |
So, how did Barclay "bust the myth"? Obviously
not with tests or research... just plain Barclay bull. |

Barclay Enterprises has several
other "companies"
These are set up to appear as separate identities. It
should be obvious to you at this point why he would do this.
