Well we ARE guessing. I don't think the dimensions have been detailed yet. "Too Bad" might be a little early.

See the following thread. Dimensions are given:

Thanks, but that's no the depth of the grip. Obviously so as we all know the KP's is quite shallow compared to other recent Pentax models, yet the dimensions offered don't indicate it.

I'm not seeing the depth of the grip detailed. Maybe you could post it.

Here you go, just print this out - cut out the ruler and measure anything you like.

Drawings shows that 'Electronic indication' is shown on the bottom of new body AND behind the rear screen. My question is - what's the point of the second label being displayed behind the screen if screen cannot be tilted? Is just me, or maybe the screen is equipped with some kind of tilt mechanism, despite its appearance? Do KP have any label behind screen? I do not have one to check it...

That ON the screen not behind it (ie. via the menus).

If you look at the complete pdf file I think it is clear that the 'Electronic Indication' refers to information displayed on the LCD, not a label behind it. There are even the instruction details on how to navigate to the information through the menus.

So, that was me, then :-)
Well, I considered that this is just a 'screenshot', but only camera with tillable screen and all the wireless connectivity I use is Panasonc (for video) and I never found such a screen in its menu system (but never really try to do so, to be honest) - I just wasn't sure. Thanks for the info anyway!

So we won't be able to read the screen?

There will be special glasses to allow Pentaxians to actually see the screen. To those without the glasses, the back of the camera will look just like a flat black square. Pentax is calling this technology "The Emperor's New Screen."

(Glasses will be sold separately for 99.99)...

It's not a sticker; is an image which will be displayed on request, like on the GR III.

Maybe Pentax could release their own version of "Google Glass." Surely that would meet the criteria of those who want a tilt screen without actually having a tilt screen...
