I like the other config better, But thats my $0.02I've been mock-fitting the case that came in the mail this week. I'm going to try and make the portable with the case in portrait orientation. The screen would be fitted inside a smoked Plexiglas frame that would screw on to the case and go edge to edge.
OR
I could make it the traditional portable style (landscape) and cut out the screen. It feels abut better in the hands this way because of the rounded sides, but reaching the keyboard would be a little challenging.
I'm kind of liking either route, I just want to take my time and go slow figuring out my case design.
Here's a couple mock up pictures of the case and screen bezel with a couple plastic casing pieces to fill the missing holes. I think it all should fit. I might have to scrap the RPi idea, but we shall see... I'll be cutting to fit and gluing the parts together soon!How thick is the case? If it is for a 7 inch android tablet, it might be too thin. Just want to help you out just in case you need to return it.
I may have to contact you next week about buying a couple.So, while I am incidentally selling them, I do genuinely think that my wired USB mini keyboards might be a better choice than that little wireless one. The appeal, and actually why I bought them in the first place, is that it's a little more secure, consumes less power than a wireless one, and doesn't add another battery to the mix. Just a thought. I've got a sale thread in the trade section.
I was thinking black and white. I don't really want to paint the back and front side bumpers since they have a rubber coating that feels nice in the hand. but maybe something entirely different and unique.Looking noice so far. Do you have a colour scheme in mind?
Oh. That would help. I'll find something smaller. Does it even need fins, or would a copper slab work just as well?Overkill. The small chip is the hot one. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
