so what do i need to buy

That depends. Do you want to make it yourself or do you want to buy a kit from Ben?

As far as making it yourself goes, you need to buy some thin plastic or wood, and some aluminum strips, both of which are avalible from Home Depot or Lowes. You'll also need to buy some tact switches, which are avalible from Digikey, but they might be out. Gannon might have some, though... You can then download and print the templates for the parts by going to www.benheck.com/book and clicking on "download support files" and downloading the right file for your project.

For a pre-made kit, go to www.benheck.com/book and click on "Buy kits". Then pay Ben for the kit through PayPal and wait for it to be delivered.

i think have the part of making a portable is making your own case it kinda makes it unique so i would reccomend not buying the kit and roughing it
