As you can see, your idea is not new (but it's still great!) In the comments section I provided the main reason why I think this would sell.
Since the Yotaphone 2 I am sure this is technically possible (and no, it wouldn't be too thick and no, the cover is not an issue).
My guess is it was cancelled either due to the Amazon patent or due to excessive cost.
Thank you for the link. I did not know that. Good that it already came to other company's attention. Not only to Amazon. Perhaps it was due to the Amazon's patent that there was no actual production by Boyue.

According to sound reason, if the company does not act according to the patent for a reasonable time, it should be deprived of this patent, because it goes contrary to the patent's goal. But nowadays many things are contrary to sound reason, and the laws in some cases protect the profit, not the sound reason.
