If I worked at Waveshare, I'd partner up with a phone case manufacturer and sell user-customisable phone cases.

They could also offer a SDK so apps could publish high utility info with low update frequency on the case itself: weather, public transport realtime schedules, etc.

(Edit: had originally written "low-latency" instead of "with low update frequency", because of the strong conditioning to associate "low latency == good")



I'd love to see something like this on hard drives, both bare ones and ones with enclosures.


Seems to be a bit thick for a case at 1cm thickness [1] + it would probably need a screen protector itself.

Yes, for now it is, but it's also stacked so it looks like it's "all screen". Maybe if you could spread components around, it could be thinner.


Somebody else commented this: https://www.gemalto.com/financial/cards/payments/dynamic-cod... I suppose if you can fit it inside of a credit card it would fit a case, and it would be really cool.
