I also found that, but no domesheet anywhere!

If the small size means the camera can work (as pointed out earlier), then awesome!

This keyboard is a closer fit to the Jolla, so it might look better as well as having an additional row and larger keys.

One small issue for me (and many more I guess) is that I've only been able to find keyboards with English layout. Has anyone been able to find different layouts (Swedish/Nordic in my case)?
The keys can be remapped, I know, but it still looks wrong :)
I don't know this keyboard, but I like it more than the Droid one posted above. Same concern about non-QWERTY layouts though, I'd like an AZERTY one myself.

Re: [WIP] Building OtherHalf keyboard prototype --determining final keyboard
 
Awaiting reply.

Possible new candidate? Dedicated number row and arrows, but ending a sentence will require two buttons as the period is not a dedicated key.

Re: [WIP] Building OtherHalf keyboard prototype --determining final keyboard
 
Just out of curiosity, has the Nokia E7's keyboard been considered? Never had an E7 myself, but I heard good things about the keyboard. Perhaps it woiuld be too expensive or difficult to have the needed parts, I don't know. Sorry if I missed it.

No dedicated number row, but as an AZERTY user on computer, I'm totally used to it (you have to use Shift to type numbers on AZERTY keyboards).

[Edit] Nevermind, just realized the keyboard is the whole back cover, so adapting it to an OH would likely be very difficult. Perhaps HTC Arrive then?

Same here: I don't know it, but it seems good enough to be mentioned. It lacks Tab key though, and I can't find the domesheet. Anyone has any experience with it?

It's in stock (and quite cheap) here: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-arrive-keypad.html

For those in doubt, I made a 3d model with the keyboard on it.

This combination is: (apart from some minor details)
-affordable (although no indication of 3d printed part)
-all available parts
-easy manufacturing
-simple parts -> strong parts
-5.5 mm increase thickness

All that will be visible from the back:

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
