And everything is tricky. From choice of materials to tolerances between parts.

Ideally, it would also add wireless charging. But that's another can of worms.

Oh, and flashlight for camera. The default one for HMD Fusion is deliberately dim?

Thank you!
The way I see it is a 3d printed case with an USB keyboard board inside it. If there is a keymapper for Android that let you map different keys to different actions, camera buttons/cover can be easily added. The LED flaslight could be a standalone LED that takes power from the +/- of the USB pins and could be toggled with a microswitch. Wireless charging should work as long as there is no metal in the way of the receiving coil on the back of the phone, if space allows a smart positioning of the usb keyboard board.

The biggest challenge is the capacitive stylus. It is the main reason I use Samsung phones and I find quite weird why there is no other manufacturer that includes active pens inside phones.
As far as I know there is no sharp tip capacitive pen (although I remember I saw some fake samsung galaxy note phones that had sharp tips)
