Very cool case, has that dreamcast feel to it.

Could you post another picture of the top of the case from a different angle? It looks a little unbalanced in the first one, but it might just be the angle.

CRISIS AVERTED!

as i was continuing to wetsand the front of the case in preperation for another coat of paint TRAGEDY STRUCK as the lower section along the controller ports SNAPPED OFF

turns out when i was dremeling the inside of the case to make room for the batteries i compromised the structural integrity of that peice and just a tiny bit too much pressure snapped it off, fortunatly it was a fairly clean break so a bit of acetone and some more liquid abs to reinforce the seam and all was right with the world once more

Not too big on the grill replacing the analog stick (imo, the D-Pad and Buttons should be level), but the portable is nice, I love the idea of a DC controller for the case too!

Instead of completing the indented region, and connecting the 2 semi-circles, which I agree with you, would be way to difficult, why don't you fill in those semi-circles with some bondo and get rid of the indented regions(The semi-circle ridges) altogether? Anyways, it looks amazing so far. Nice work man.

Ack! You're going to fix that square corner on the case, right?!?

Otherwise, nice case! It's amazing.
