He vaccuum forms the general shape of the case, but cuts holes and bondos the controller bits in.

Looking good, dkap01! That is quite a funky design.
Wow, then he has some wild bondo skills. Christ... makes it even better!

sorry to bring back an old thread, but i've been waiting to see if there was progress on this, and now that the XBp is done, i figured it would be an OK time to ask.

Also, the screen itself. Is it bondo'd on or something? Or was it part of the mould? I can't get over how much detail a vaccum former can preserve (like the countersunk button holes etc).

How deep is it?
i think that all of his stuff is bondo'd on, he kinda started the whole bondo usage in portables thing
