I love the idea of the privacy switch, but I want more: I want a hard, electromechanical switch for each of: Mic, camera, GPS, wifi, cell, bluetooth. These can be tiny and aesthetically pleasing, as long as I can easily flip on/off the one I want.

The problem with having a single button, even configurable, is that it's all-or-nothing, and I might want different things at different times.

But thanks so much for taking the first step!

If it catches traction, there will be usb-connected phone cases that expose these switches to physical controls.

I don't think that's what anyone means by "physical controls" and if they do, then they don't know what they are talking about.

"Physical controls" are those that you can physically sense. My point was everyone needs different things, so it's possible to keep core functionality simple and let users add what they need, via extensions. Like dongle hell but better.
