Case modding for phones, cool. You could have one machined out of
aluminum, and as long as the FIC hardware doesn't change too much over
the years, you could keep updating it with the latest boards. Assuming
that you could order the boards from FIC without the case, or are
willing to buy and discard. If someone comes up with a nice aluminum
case design, there are sites where machinists bid on such things - a
group of people could commission an order of replacement cases. The
company I work for gets complex sensor cases made for about 150$ each in
small batches. That said, carbon fiber would be cool too, though I
don't know much about what it would take to fabricate such a case for a
phone.

I have been thinking a little more about this and I struck upon an
idea... What if you could buy a custom case with a custom message on it.
I am not talking about painted messages but letters and shapes cast
into the plastic shell.
Raised, sunk, custom fonts etc.
Naturally we can't just replicate the exact neo1973 shell without
permission, but maybe something like it and removing the FIC logo
(unless we get permission to use it) or the like.
This is more of a vanity thing than a functional thing.. But what do
people think of it?
