Using the Blackberry 10 I2C Keyboard PMOD with the Pinephone
#3
Nice find, and work on getting it going.

There's some soldering involved - the rainbow ribbon cable is soldered at the keyboard end although it looks like it's using dupont connectors at the pogo breakout end. A practical everyday version might rework the pogo breakout and integrate the ribbon as a flexi pcb, and reroute to clear the USB. There's scope to add a flip mechanism to the case and some sort of open/closed sensor to use the extra screen space, but that's taking things to another level once the basics are working. I'm not yet convinced the clips for the back cover can be successfully 3d printed on a domestic machine, but hope I'll be proved wrong.
