Except that thicker is easy.
make a simple ring like this:
Calc width desired extra thickness

This makes the mold MUCH less complex. The yop side is a mold of the bottom
half of the original case and the bottom of the mold is a copy of the top half
of the calc. This also iliminates the need to include a battery case into the
mold. It should have enough room for a 1 inch diameter Black Piezo electric
speaker from Rat Shaq. It needs to have locations for connectors and switches,
as well as a volume control.
My recomendations, SPinTerface, Link, Speaker, earphones, volume control,
several switches mounts, and a DBA (Direct bus access: 34 pin female header
containing Data, address, and control lines). Any other ideas??? I prefer the
wide case, but since this one is so simple, it is most likely the best choice.
I think it NEEDs to be 1/2 inch thick to matter. I can work on a layout for
parts and mountings.
