Actually, as has shown up in a couple of threads here, as predicted, now that they are manufacturing, they have spare parts again. I and several others have been notified that our repairs are done or being done. They even threw in a battery replacement (not just me). Part of the problem in their communication is they don't say anything when they don't have an answer or solid information. My trust in them, however, has been based on the fact that they always come through.

Some good news! I just received an email saying that they now have parts for repair, as well as Pro1X mass production which will be shipping next month. They've confirmed that they will repair my device, including the display, and will be sending it back to me soon. So a very long delay, but I feel that they went the extra mile now to make up for it (repairing damage outside of what was strictly covered by the warranty).

There are a small number of devices with similar dimensions. https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nHeightMin=153&nHeightMax=155&nWidthMin=73&nWidthMax=74&nThicknessMin=6&nThicknessMax=8 At the least three of them are from 2020 or 2021, so cases are likely to still be around for a while. Whether they provide a better fit (base for modifications) I do not know. https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2020&nHeightMax=155&nWidthMin=73&nWidthMax=74&nThicknessMin=6&nThicknessMax=8

I hope they are also going to reply me about a replacement USB board.

I'm amazed by their perseverance too. The small group take a lot of beating from angry users, and way too little praise, IMHO I really hope they will continue to both produce PKB phones and support them. If there will not be a successor I hope they will consider crowdfunding extended phone-support as long as possible for the chipset and security update. . I have no idea what a year of support / minor development would cost, but they could come up with a number and see if we are enough that are willing to chip in. As a stretch goal they could offer those that chipped in some special rate

I hope they will also continue this work in the future. The hardware is powerful enough also for a longer-term special use, so, for example, if native Linux kernel support would also be available later, that could lift the whole device to a higher level... (it could also give more power for native UBTouch / Mobian / Manjaro / PostmarketOS / etc. that case) I hope they will be able to continue manufacturing till there will be demand for the very same device (so not affected highly with components shortage) and I really hope they have also plans for long-term direction, for example for

I think the other thing to look at is their perseverance. Given IGG offers no guarantee of delivery, most, given the obstacles they hit, might have thrown up their hands and walked away. This small group of folks is making sure we get our phones come Hell or high water. I can't believe they are going to have ended up with massive profits. They are doing this for the love of keyboard phones and they will deliver. Thank you Chen and the rest!
