Well, a dynamic back cover might have quite a nice WOW factor.
New (black and white ;-) ) look for every day, etc.

Still, when reading on the sun or if enough light is available, E-Ink still beats anything else for reading. So it might nice to be able to "turn around" between LCD/AM/OLED and an E-Ink screen.

Now when I think about it, most devices are not really designed to be used display-down. And most modern displays don't really have any protective "ridge" around the display, so they are resting directly on the display when put display-down. That could lead to quite some scratches.
