Okay, wow - the competition is strong. So I thought in case I'm in the TOP10, I'd use that sweet screen and go another route, instead of using a classic DMG case! Here's a mockup of what I'd like to do, drawn in 123D Design, since I doubt there's enough time for me to learn fusion360 and finish the design in it. The cartridge reader is supposed to fit classic Game Boy cartridges and Advance games, therefor the dummy cartridge is a mix of both. This design is 20cm wide, so to prevent warping and early release from the build plate, I'm going to spilt it up and make it modular, but the controllers wont come of. While looking for pics of the switch, I sadly found a similar design rendered by an artist. But I guess that happens to every one and I like the design and want to go no with that. There will be shoulder buttons, too. let's see if I can fit everything inside and how thick it will be in the end :) 

Here is a test print of the controller buttons, all on one side, just to check how the buttons are fitting. With some minor tweaks this should be perfect!
