It may be an "e-paper" display, similar to the one Pebble is using. Looking at the Pebble demo videos, you can see that they do support high framerate. Not so sure about the size though.

But memory LCDs ("e-paper") still have 15 uW quiescent power use, whereas the case is marketed as "always on" (zero quiescent power). So, no.
