Has anyone made a dongle hider for the Logitech Bolt USB-C receiver?
Is that even worth it? Last time I checked it looked like bolt made 0 difference on latency over bluetooth and you already have that (at least the old unifying one had a slight edge over bluetooth there).
If it does you could just get a regular dongle-hider and put the usb-a version of the dongle in there.

Bolt supposed to have an edge on security (FIPS compliance) and relatively more stable connection, and faster switch over between multiple bolts.
As for why USB-C….so I can use the same dongle on other things like the phone if I’ve forget to have the 2nd dongle.
So, to that question, I guess if someone already did the ground work and already have the recipe, then yes, worth it, to me.
Bt is allready pretty encrypted but not sure about the certs, definitely better than unifying was XD (The stuff was really convenient though).
Phones tend to have bluetooth too.
Full steam ahead then, may want to get an usb-a dongle to put in a donglehider, disasembling the usb-c one may get messy. Or do you mean just a 3d printed shell for the dongle?
I tend to have bluetooth turned off in public.
I have been looking for the usb-c version of this very thing. I have been using the usb-A with a ush-c shim, but would prefer usb-c without the shim.
I have two operating systems on my framework laptop. The dongle automatically switches to whatever OS is running. With Bluetooth, I would have to re-pair each time I switch OS or use separate device pairings (and I’ve already paired with the maximum number of devices.
If no one has made a 3D printed version, I may try it.
Oh yes, that annoying issue. 
That bluetooth just didn’t bother to think about dual boot setups. I presume one of your OSes is Linux?
BT pairing gets broken each time one switches OS, unless you be sure that each OS use the same pairing keys.
