6) One thing I wonder, will the metal case interfere with GPS reception? Same for Bluetooth, wifi, etc.?

Anyway, best wishes for the project.

good point

but i guess it they are mostly located on main body..

plus metal should increase there efficiency instead of decreasing it..

i guess- if it does interfere that section could be left plastic.. or the reception antennas could be shifted(soldered + extended) to camera hole(larger backcover) since its useless till now and not visible directly, and its material could be changed to whatever increase th reception..
also whatever design we are gonna get a big metal kickstand it could also do the purpose
