I think that is not enough moving only the battery, maybe is possible to make a stand like some keyboard for tablet (that have a semirigid involucre that become a stand with some magnet).

To me the important part would be to put the phone on a desk or on my lap and be able to actually type on it, and to touch the screen without it rocking backwards. It also has to be usable as a phone, and ideally the camera would also be usable. I don't want to have to open anything to see notifications, but I guess that's what the PineTime is for. I'm not entirely sure all these are achievable at the same time in a retrofit for an existing device, or that I could live with the extra bulk all the time.
Yes, for me it'is really important to have all'us/ascii character for linux/programming purpose and for me it is also important to have alt-gr key because I use us-layout with european accent to cover other character I need, I use also third level of compose with alt-gr + right-ctrl, this combination permit to me to have all character I need only with a normal us layout, and it's perfect, more confortable than a other-language specific keyboard.
Maybe it is possible to have an external/magneti connection on the side of phone and a slide that permint to rotate the phone on the side pivot enough to close phone on both faces? XD it is too mad, sorry
