DUSTIN:
Hey Matt,
I just got back yesterday evening and am ready to dive in head first. After tonight I will let you know if I think the official enclosure will help.
Thanks for being patient. I know you probably imagined having the board back by now.
ME:
It is what it is. I'm in no rush. Take all the time you need. I got 2 PlayBox LCD enclosures in the mail last week, so if you need one I can send one. Keep in mind easy access to the SD card slot, power supply and power switches. Seems like common sense, but Pine failed hard in those parts. You should check out the forum, particularly the "enclosures" section, for complaints about pine's official design. Also, the PlayBox enclosure came with a longer 30 pin FFC. I have been searching for 6 pin FFC extensions, but no luck. Only viable option for that is to make one with two 6 pin breakout boards and connectors. I would have bought the components to put one together, but other priorities are on deck at the moment.
DUSTIN:
Great input! Ill send you pictures of the prototype (today or tomorrow) and see what you think.
ME:
I cannot wait to see something
By the way, did you check out the video I mentioned? The one of the PlayBox being put together.
Matt
DUSTIN:
I did watch the video and got an idea for how to hold the screen... now to see if it actually works

Last night I figured out how to arrange everything in a case. Today I am going to recharge my batteries after traveling, but I think I am on track for a case. I wont lie I was pretty nervous at first because the arrangement of connectors is frustratingly inconvenient.
ME:
I completely agree, but I know if anybody can come up with a viable solution to Pine's official case, its you. You're going to pull some sales for sure when everything is complete. You're the man.
Somebody said "In Dustin, I'm trustin"
Get some rest man,
Matt
