Oh man, I don’t know if you’d want to buy one. But here’s the breakdown.
The case is designed so that you can comfortably look at the 7" New Haven Capacitive Touch screen without having to lean over. The device itself will a custom GUI using my latest software and be a present for my fiance Evee. It will also be my go to device when making Skewworks videos.
In addition to the display the device sports WiFi, USB Host (keyboard, mouse, mass storage), SD and USB DP modules all powered by a FEZ Raptor. The power is controlled using a beautiful lit ring metal button and a Gadgeteer cable that has been spliced.
The software features full 5 point touch support, dynamic font loading (as in from SD card or other source at runtime), full navigation support, windows, a large array of GUI elements, CIFS and Ping support as well as a host of other features.
Eve’s custom GUI will, as always, have a Fallout theme to it. Unlike previous builds for her though this won’t be the standard green text but instead have a full drag/drop interface modeled after what would happen if a Vault Dweller go their hands on some Zetan tech.
The “official” Skewworks GUI sports resizable, draggable windows and an interface that’s modeled after an updated Apple System 7 interface. I went with that as a really go way to save screen space for these displays. Of course, you can create any interface you want using the components.

Case from Shapeways: $327.40 (though if you have a printer that can handle it, I’d happily send STL files. I even broke the main case into 2 which you’d have to plastic cement together for 200mm bed printers).
