Is there a price estimate at this time?
And is one without the camera hole going to be cheaper than one with a hole?

I think one without hole will be more expensive.
Or . . . both versions could be priced the same, defying both of these logical arguments.

From a manufacturing perspective it should be easier to manufacture and require less work (ie: not having to drill a hole in the material), thus making it cheaper.
However, custom options can make a product very appealing -see TOHKBD- and can make a semi-mass-produced product feel more premium and personal.
So it is a trade-off on my side to select which thing I can or should make custom. Please as much people as possible, without causing an enormous amount of extra work to keep the price low.

I've got an ancient Casio calculator, and kind of like the hard cover that protects the front of it when closed. Here's a picture of one:

I dunno if anybody makes covers like these for modern mobile devices...
waiting on some confirmations from jolla's and having some talks with local composite experts, then maybe doing some campaign for this one.

and also the velvet keeps it from scratching and sliding
