I'd be interested to hear more about the PCB you've designed for it.
Well, here's the 'feature list':
- 40pin Hirose FH28-series socket for connecting to LCD module. Connected via GPIO in DPI 18-bit color (mode 5) scheme
- 5V/3A DC/DC for supplying RPi, directly connected to USB-A socket
- 3.3V/1A DC/DC for TFT logic supply (the 3.3V supply on the Zero is not very powerful)
- Zener Diodes for reverse polarity protection
- USB-A socket
- Pogo-Pins for USB data signals and 5V (RPi Zero) power supply). Alternatively 5V can be feed into Pin2/4 (solder jumper)
- all voltages (Vin/5V/3.3V) are available for external use (2-pin JST ZR-Series for 5V/GND, all on JST BM08B-series connector; carries 2 left-over GPIO-signals (22/23) as well)
- size is 99x33mm, can be used different Raspberry models
I've designed three different boards which differ in:
a) pin assignement for the FFC connector
b) color dept (24-bit and 18-bit)
The 24-bit version gives full freedom in using it with other models: I simply need to design a small adapter PCB with the display connectors only. Can be done fast and cheap.
Here are some additional pics:

- Size comparison between 6.1in (top) - 9.2in (center, 960x160pixels) and PCB. I think the big one will be even cooler.

- bare PCB on top of an RPi3. PCB will fit even with the USB-A in place.
