Do you mean that FS-GETA083 will be shipped with FS-BB48 as a single
product (glued together)?

Yet, I don't know if Seeed will accept my offer to ship those.  If
they will do, it will be their decision.  My preference is selling
them as a different products, and it's up to users to glue them
together.

I believe that FS-GETA083 is useful for any DIY products.

Even though my family members said they hate to use such a bare PCB
product, I don't have an idea to use USB-A connector for FS-BB48 (just
like FST-01), or to prepare any enclosure.

My concern remained for FST-01 is that, when it is stolen, it is
technically possible for an attacker to put a malicious MCU or
something into the space of the USB-A connector, replacing the
connector.

Yes, people will like that.  I agree.

The problem for me is how an end user could trust the hardware when it
comes in this form.  If there are some way(s) where end users can
examine the board and fold a metal by themselves with a reasonable
cost, I would like to adopt such a thing.

Basically, I don't want to impose users at the initial stage.  It's up
to each user to chose how to customize the token.  It will be good if
it will be possible for users to ask customization at their local
shops.
