Wow great work guys! I have been reading this thread and I have to admit that the whole ideas are awsome!
What I can really understand from the 3d designs is this:
With the keyboard closed will you be able to take a photo or the camera will be hidden?
I don't really know if I will buy a jolla in the near future(I don't have the money right now) but it is such a big thing to make a hw keyboard from scratch
I have seen somewhere about a psp analog stick as well! About that maybe you could use a razor x board instead of the real analog stick!
What it does:
Instead of having an analog stick, it makes it works like a key, but it feels like an analog stick
and it is better for the room too, because this board makes the stick thinner!(Just an idea 
)

Why not simply stick with the N900 keyboard? The Motorola keyboard doesn't have any number keys anyway, and most of us are very familiar with the N900 keyboard (never underestimate habit)!

Here are some different tutorials from acidmods(not sure if I am breaking a rule or something... if yes sorry, just tell me and I will delete them...):

The whole idea is this:
The psp's stick has a small spring on it, which you can use it as ground and use the other four pins/metals for making it work as 4 keys
By the way kimmoli I like the way you are thinking

1. domesheet is not available
2. makes construction more complex and thus weaker.

I saw a lot articles about typo keyboard for iphone has got some millions of bucks by some investor, and they only come out with a cheap bt keyboard case which does not even physically connected to the phone. They should really invest to Dirkvl probably 1/10 or money will be enough for a product better than typo.
Sorry for the offtopic, that looks very nice, will buy instantly when available.

So if you will include the analog stick, you will have to use it as it is without modding it...
By the way, with what type of keyboard will you make it? I have seen so many different styles!

By the way, after all with what keyboard style will you make that because I have seen so many!
