      @obsidianspider About the I2S ... you can make it louder by soldering resistors between some PADs. Go ahead to the adafruit page... there you will find instructions. I love these sound devices... crystal clear sound for a moderata price (5-7USD)

        @bytethis It's actually pretty comfortable to hold. I've not tested the battery life, but it does have a protection circuit so it shouldn't over-discharge.

          @obsidianspider as always, great job! I really like how the label turned out as well.

          Yeah, I like how I was able to get the Nintendo logos to show up even with the area removed for the buttons.

            @cyperghost This is true, but I am also using a small speaker and I don't want to blow it. It's loud enough at full volume for normal playing. I'm not hosting a rock concert with it. :)

              @obsidianspider Ha! I've got those hand files. Not got that 25-hour patience though...

                @markyh444 I'm not saying it would take everyone that long, and I'd probably be faster now that I've done it once, but it was VERY tedious.

                  @obsidianspider to be fair, the last time I did a case mod it was tedious as hell. Then delayed finishing it for about a month as I nearly hacked my left index finger off with a Stanley knife halfway through.

                  I wouldn't mind, but it wasn't even for me!

                    Oh dear! But the answer is easy for this

                    .... Fix it Felix!
