Nice! Had the same idea once, but those are horribly overpriced still. 130€ for one and there are nearly no defective ones around.
But you can buy cases and even the screens + touch screen replacements here:

Check ebay for ones with broken screens! They can go for as low as $50. You'd be using a different screen anyway and gutting the internals.

Already did, but it seems here in germany they are really seldom
Well, when i've finished my two projects, they will be as cheap as 15$, for i will take ages to complete them

Ah that stinks. It would make such a good base for a project like that. Plenty of room inside for lots of battery capacity, full-sized pi, etc.

Then maybe I shouldn't point out how awesome it would be to route power and hdmi output through something like this for TV-play:
