Well in my naive understanding, could one of these two work:

* lets assume that NFC can detect multiple tags/NFC devices at once (can 
it ?) and all the other halves surely have some sort of unique id (so 
that different ambiances can be detected) that all have a common prefix 
(so that the device can distinguish between OH and another NFC device
-> in this case, the device can just filter out the NFC chip on the OH 
when working in "normal" NFC mode (pairing, contact transfer, etc.)

* lets assume the NFC-bearing OH can be removed and an NFC-less OH installed
-> the chip can detect the NFC tag in the OH, so it should detect normal 
NFC devices just fine if a NFC-less OH is installed

So that are my two €-cents. :)
