Pinephone Keyboard feedback
#5
I also love my PP keyboard, but the only changes I would recommend would be:

* blocking off the internal USB connector of the phone entirely
* providing data line pass through on the case's usb port, or providing an external USB (maybe even A instead of C) port for hooking up drives, SDRs, or whatever else
* maybe the option of a rubber plug to make the DIP switches accessible? This would be a nice option for a "deluxe" backing plate as well.

That being said, I am fairly handy with various plastic cutting methods, a 3d printer, and my electronics lab, so may prototype some solutions to the problems myself.

Anyway, Even as is I still love the thing but for a more "ready for normies" version, those could be some killer features. I already get a lot of very interested people when I am using my chonky PPP microlaptop-with-LTE in real life.

PS/Edit: oh, and maybe a built on or detachable belt clip or optional holster. The whole thing fits perfectly in the front pocket of my Deluth jeans, but I am 6'4" - most people would probably have an issue carrying it. Again, this may be just another 3d printed thing. If I design anything, I'll make STLs and source files available.
