I desperately want something similar, a small touchscreen Linux board that's thin/slim without any annoying headers etc so I can make a digital badge.

I've literally found nothing that fits the bill, they're either thick tft lcds, lack touch or have stupid peripherals. I just need to make a digital badge but I feel like I'll have to build it from scratch myself.

How is it phone screens are 3mm thick (often like >10mm). What happened to miniaturisation...
