Here is another idea. What about a 2 piece (or maybe it is a one piece with a hinge) game controller that you clip over the phone with the end result looking like this.

OtherHalf thats goes all around the phone with:
-extra memory for games (gameboy cartridges?!)
-mega giga battery
-cooling of the phone!!!!
-gamepad buttons
I would totally like this

It would be pretty cool if custom OHs also incorporated pogo connectors. The Nexus 10 has them, and they allow for quick charging when you have a dock with the Magnector built in. Some guy on XDA sells them, but you can mod a Toshiba tablet dock to fit, or build your own.
Pogo connector:
Magnector cable:
Modded dock:

The only thing I would need in TOH is a stylus holder.

Other nerdy OH ideas there: https://www.tindie.com/products/category/sensors/ 
A good capacitive stylus + holder would be cool, I agree, especially if we inherit some apps like EasyDebian and stuff like that. I'd buy one.

Probably this has been mentioned, but if If I2C is too slow in bandwidth for some application that would require USB speeds, then why not let:
1. Other half connect with a tiny cross-over in the phone usb port (then you have the possibility for camera speeds etc in host mode with special driver). It might look a little funny though.
2. Since connection above take away the USB port on the phone, then provide a new USB port on TOH itself to become that regular USB-port that you connect to say computer or whatever.
Does this make sense?
Power-issues, to let the jolla power both ports, I haven't though of. But I guess other half also could provide some of the extra juice needed for the additional USB port by a power source itself.

This looks pretty awesome

However, doing so, I think the phone can only be in host mode, not in device (so you couldn't connect it to a PC). Not sure about this, this as to be checked.
