I think I finally managed to find a solution for the cable mess created by the five different antennas (WLAN, Bluetooth, 2xLTE, GNSS) in my Pocket Reform. Instead of pasting the antennas to the lid, I created a thin sheet of acrylic which I can then stick the antennas to. That way, opening up the Pocket Reform display plate will no longer mess with the cabling. SVG to reproduce this mod can be found in this forum post: community.mnt.re/t/cable-manag

A purple MNT Pocket Reform with the display backplate removed on a gray sofa cushion. Inside there is the RK3588 processor module on a purple carrier board. A transparent sheet of acrylic creates a frame which snugly follows the shape of the aluminium case and onto which several black antennas are pasted with yellow/golden kapton tape. Next to the Pocket Reform is a black/green screwdriver with TX6 head.
