I see you have all the needed components in your hands, excellent! Looking forward to your build.

PS: Finally, I can address you more easily! It's difficult to memorize you other (numeric) handle. :lol:

PS: damn I should just change my name lol

Great idea, thank you! Definitely doing that. Rotating buttons would feel bleh. :(

The main problem isn't because the buttons will rotate. If you look closely to the silicon pad, you might notice that it will only works when the buttons are in exact orientation :D the first time I attempt to put the buttons on without the brackets it feels really wierd when you press on it. So brackets will be a must have! :D

Oh didn't know that but not surprised either. Good thing i decided to get a black shell instead of using the original one so i can use the original for practice and extra parts.

@Brian
Which "button hole rings" are you referring to? Are you referring to the bevel/chamfer I did to my case below? If so, just use a hobby knife angled 45 degrees and run it around the button holes.

No you don't have to cut at all but just shave to remove the sharp corner. I hope the pic below illustrates better what I mean.

Awesome this far
I made them myself and now they are sold out:D
I shared my files and now at the sell/trade forum several people are selling them as well, you can get one there ;)
I guess I am missing where you are selling these dude? Where is the sell/trade forum?
