The camera and flash will be exposed when the keyboard is slided out. I can make it exposed when slided in, but that will mean the keyboard is about 10 mm to the right of the center. And you will have a hole on the left side next to your kb.
So, possible:yes, ugly:yes.

I wish there was a bigger size keyboard available....
because it seems like the bezel of the keyboard is too big...
Useless empty space
Edit: Maybe we can add analog sticks?
Like the PSP (Go) one

I saw on ebay that someone sells those keyboards:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OQO-Model-02...-/221255430649
Maybe we can ask him where he got those or if he can get more?

In other words, I doubt this keyboard is available in large quantities.
Also, it is about 6mm too large.

For the connection between the upper and lower part (slide+hinge mechanism) I am still looking for a suitable cable.
Specs:
-about 50mm
-at least 5 tracks
-at most 10mm wide
-equal or more than 0.5mm pitch
-ZIF/LIF/Soldertab ends
-cheap
-available
-bending radius of 1-1.5 mm for dynamic loads
and the connector
-1mm max from pcb
-fits above cable
-cheap
-available
anyone? it needs to fulfill all the criteria!
(flex cable in pink)

Bending radius and "cheap" is from evil...
Quick go'ogling:
To get thickness of connector to at or below 1mm, you have to go to 0.5mm pitch. e.g.
Molex 5034800600 (0,49€ @ 100pcs)
Hirose FH19SC-6S-0.5SH(05)
etc. These are available at Digikey
Cable e.g. WURTH 687606050002 - CABLE, FFC, 0.5MM, 50MM, 6WAY , available at Farnell
or MOLEX - 21020-0053 - CABLE ASSEMBLY, PREMO-FLEX FFC TYPE-A, 0.167FT (also at Farnell 2,20€ @ 100pcs)

This combination is: (apart from some minor details)
-affordable (although no indication of 3d printed part)
-all available parts
...
For 3D printing maybe Shapeways could provide any help? It is also based in Eindhoven, so shipping costs may be low.
For the design you now have, is there any possibility to make holes for the cam and flash, since the keyboard has some room left?
