Looks good !
I like
- the idea to attach that board at bottom, and not at top, of the raspberry ;
- the presence of one powered usb HUB 4 ports ;
- all required H/W included in delivery
- the presence of one on/off switch
I wonder weither :
- the SD card is protected in case of 5v supply failure ?
(probably no as not mentioned and no access to GPIO)
- the 2.0 A output power is sufficient to drive the raspberry, its HATs and the provided hub + connected peripherals ?

Just reading up on this - they don't recommend charging the battery while the PI is running, and they don't provide a signal if the battery is running low, so out of the box it wouldn't be possible to clean shut-down the PI. Something like that could probably be implemented by using a GPIO and detecting voltage on the board, I would think. The questions and answers on Amazon.com are very interesting.
Too bad - this looked very promising. It's frustrating that they would do so much yet leave out something like UPS capability.

On Amazon.fr the price is more than double : 10.35€ on banggod compare to 20.88€ on Amazon.fr !!!
