We also discussed a flip top connector, but I think it's not available in this pin pitch.
If we change the footprint such that the pads are more exposed, we should be able to hand solder more easily. @samchoy88 did you change the footprint?
I made change for Electronics version 0.12. I took FH12-12S-1SH(55) FPC flip-lock connector as component reference.
Extended the pads at the side for hand soldering easily and adapt to both flip-lock or insert lock connector.
Awesome! I think this is going to make assembly easier, especially with that flash chip next to the LCD connector. Closing issue.
The current LCD connector is not very good for hand soldering. It would be nice to find a better one. We may alternatively change the footprint, giving a larger pad such that a soldering iron can transfer heat to the pad.
It would also be nice to have a flip top version rather than one that is pressed in parallel to the board.
