That's cool news, thet put some hope on top of current lots-of-garbage-but-no-usable-device style smartphone market. > > b) design a 3D printable case with key-caps that is robust enough > > I suggest using a scissor mechanism where the keyboard slides out > instead. Hmm... I could not get what is the alternative to keyboard that slides out the "main case". If keyboard is not mechanically mounted with phone into single divice (e.g. if it is a separate "box" connected by a wire), it immediately gets a major usability hit - same as e.g. external bluetooth keyboard has. One can't keep phone AND keyboard in one hand while e.g. standing in crowded transport.
