just adding my two pence: it may not satisfy every users, but has any company ever made a forearm-attached casing? some phone that you could clip on your left forearm, so that the keyboard and the screeen would be steady while your right arm writes down. Plus, there would be no danger of stealing.

Hey, I would like to have it rather swinging out than sliding. Then you could lock it at ca. 180° (with a bar or something) and by using the full back area of the case, it would be big enough for a expanded layout.
