Maybe if they moved the USB port out from behind the kickstand and just used that for the case to click into? (I might be afraid of damaging the port if the case gets dropped with the N9x0 inside.)
Now that I think about it... why not a really low power microwave radio signal to communicate with such a case (the way RFID does)--I'd almost guess the N8x0 series could probably already do that. hm. Bonus if the eink case has another battery (or maybe a place for AAA's) inside a panel which can help charge the N9x0 while it's inside its case and REALLY extend the time the unit can be used overall.

Just brainstorming that one--I'd have to weight that against the cons if it could realistically be designed.
