Gives it a nice injection mold like appearance
Yeah, I thought I would ask too, what is that for ?
It is for sticking a pencil into the case to prop up the screen at an angle.

What a wonderful idea 
I once made a simple case out of cardboard with my brother for a rasberry pi, then I ported the design to the VIM3 and it came out quite well

I will have to make use of the board box in which the khadas board is shipped, the black tight box, it will be a perfect case material just need to carve out io cuts and some vent holes.
As I hate using bareboards.

what do you mean by bareboards, cardboard or SBC board ?
Bare board, just the board to test is a risk of damaging the components in case my hand are moist or cause or static charge, so I prefer all device inside a protective casing.
yes that is true,
bareboards need to be protected or else they will be fried if they are powered up and come into direct contact with conductive fluid or ESD or else boom! they are dead before you an understand what happened, I lost one of my Arduino boards this way and till date I regret touching it the day it happened because of some sweaty palms

Yes they do actually, funny how the box is tight and just the right size…

when I first got my VIM3, the unboxing experience remined me of opening an iPhone, lift the box up and slowly wait as the bottom box slides off and plop ! it on the table, unboxed.

You need to add a tone board to this sandwich. It will be very successful! Case for the VIM3 and M2X and ToneBoard!!!

That would be nice, but then the whole compactness part gets thrown out the window.
but even then the whole design could be expanded a bit to accompany the tone board as well.

I made a template for a simple paper case incase those who are looking for a temporary solution to store their VIMs, fully moddable in case you want to,

if there was enough money for vim3, then I think there should be no problems finding money for the corps

Let’s just say there was a person with such a scenario who had enough money for a VIM3 and had a bucket load of problems finding money for the case,
p.s i am talking about my self 
yes, and you went further, created your own building !
