That looks really nice. Little things like the reversible charging plug are absolutely critical (one elderly relative has broken a considerable number of devices by forcing the USB Micro-B cables in the wrong way round - coloured stickers to mark the plugs are obligatory).

NFC tags to identify physical objects when one can't read the label are an excellent idea.

The team at WayAround have done a good job of integrating slightly-custom-for-small-premium NFC tags with their smartphone app and optional dedicated reader. Non-technical customers can buy tags designed for clothing buttons, magnets, stickers, clips and more. Techies can use generic tags + magic string.
