Sweet!

Now to have a look under the hood. I am planning either a Zero or a 3. Leaning toward the 3.

How did you get that battery indicator in the top right?

Where did you get your case? I can only find them in working condition, on eBay, and I couldnt bring myself to ripping one apart.

Great work! You're using all of the parts that I'm waiting on (except Day's screen, I have one) I'm happy to see what it looks like when it comes together.

It's not a direct match for the PIL transparent case as the text is the wrong colour, maroon on the PIL, blue for the 3rd party. Also, not the same clarity as the PIL is transparent while the 3rd party is frosted. Still plenty clear though!

I know, because I bought one to tear apart for my GBZ but couldn't bear to rip it apart once I got it & subsequently bought the same case as Tyler335 did, from this guy on eBay. Decent fit with Day's screen surround, but there is a sub-mm gap around the outside.

I didn't see that particular case for sale on the link you provided.

Here you go!
Thanks! I saw that one but it didn't look as clear as Tyler335. I think the eBay photo probably doesn't do it justice. I'll give it a shot.

It looks a lot more opaque with nothing in it. Once you get a circuit board in there it's plenty visible.
