Ok.. One step further if you don't mind..
IF I had a project that I wanted to turn into a product that would need to have a higher level of fit-n-finish, what would you use?
I've got a product in mind (no, not built yet -- I'm just starting to work on it) and it will have an LCD display and a few buttons along with needing a battery door (not sure why kind yet -- perhaps 9V or pair of AA's).. Are there ANY boxes out there that are off-the-shelf that might qualify and still be perhaps about twice the size of a pack of cigarette's? In my case I'd like a case that looks nice but won't cost me $15-$20/ea in qty.. I realize I could probably design something in a 3D CAD program and send it to a plastic joint and have them fab a custom case but suspect that may cost me the big $$..
Has anyone done this sort of custom/semi-custom case yet?
P.S. If you moderator types think this should be a separate topic, I'm fine with that..
