Floppy Emu Atari Cartridge Case

I love my Floppy Emu from BigMessOWires.com.  Specially he hard drive emulation mode.  However it always bothered me that it did not have a case.  I hopped that someone would at some point post cool retro design for a 3D Printer but so far no luck.  So I decided to make my own.  I wanted to be retro so I went through all my non working retro junk and settled on a broken Atari Cartridge.  It requires some cutting so the screen shows but it fits in.  Here are the pictures of how it looks.



I am still hoping one day to run into a broken Apple Floppy or something to convert into a case, but for now it will do.

Thanks,

The board is covered, I have not added holes for the buttons but I probably will at some point.  I just leave it In Hard Drive mode so I rarely use the buttons.

I am aware of the Floppy Emu case but I wanted something "Retro".  

The best would be a 3D Printed case in the shape of a floppy drive like this SD Card solution for the Commodore 64:
