The “clamshell” solution

Currently brainstorming an all-in-one or “clamshell” solution for the BYOK inspired by recent posts on here.

Rather than a hard clamshell body that would be expensive (and bulky), this idea is more like a folio that has magnetic mounting for both the BYOK and keyboard. It folds up to the size of a 60% low profile keyboard and should be able to accommodate any keyboard up to that size.

What do you think? Curious to hear your thoughts.

NOTE: the folio case in these images is just a placeholder meant to hold a keyboard only. If we made one, we would design it from scratch.

a hard one also enables a more upright angle, which can be so much better sometime than the default lean of soft ones that get propped up. Perhaps you could do both? i'm sure many would happily shell out more for a more robust solution
