Whenever I take off my TOH I find the Jolla looks so much slicker without it, that I'd really wish for an extremly thight fitting TOH, maybe made from aluminium.
Another idea could be a "round" half, much like the back of a Pre3 or a Galaxy Nexus. This way it wouldn't look too chubby either and with rounded corners it would be smoother in the hand...
Is something like this available? Is it even possible?

I can build that. It's quite easy with a Dremel. Who needs that HW anyways, long live software ;-)
EDIT: this answer does not apply anymore since the question was changed.
@lispy dremel is a mark of power tool https://www.dremeleurope.com. he means he could arrange it so that is tighter. i think it is just an hardware mod without change of the nfc chip... he should confirm it

1. i know, ihave read it. but was anyway an interesting point.
2. if you want, you must not do it. let the old one is pretty the same.
3. never told the contrary. i found indeed that is an intersting idea. i am curious if you make the jump.
have good time.

If you want rounded corners and smoothness, BumperTOH could be the way to go. But it is not slimmer than the original, for sure.
It can hardly can get any slimmer than the original (if you still want a working Jolla inside, that is), and rounded corners always need extra space.

Given that the standard TOH 'adds' 1mm to the design, I don't think there are thinner possibilities.
Maybe real carbonfiber, but that will be fragile, very expensive and not very scratch resistant. Alu will block all your antennas. Bad plan.
Lets hope J2 will bring other possibilities.

The tablet is pretty much that design, slightly thicker though.
