Looks great, but I feel the bezels are a hair too thick on the sides (left right bottom). What do you guys think? I am buying either way... he hehe
Unfortunately, due to the way the plate is designed, I don't have much wiggle room there, so I decided to embrace the technical constraint—"a feature not a bug"—and go for the bold sort of design with a formidable bezel that you see. If I decrease the thickness of the bezel at the bottom at all, we get a super thin wall in one area near the corner where I have to give clearance for the plate hold-down screws. It's already pretty thin in that area as it is.
A thinner wall there would make the case more likely to be damaged, both in transit and an use. This was an issue I encountered on early prototypes of my Novatouch case, and one I'm keen to avoid in future, as you'd imagine. I could technically decrease the bezel on the left and right sides, but then it starts to look weird and imbalanced.
So, yeah, what you see above is the result of lots of technical compromise and experimentation and my best attempt at balancing all the constraints of minimal bezels, no seam line on the sides, fitting the plate snugly, etc. If I were designing the plate and PCB from scratch, we'd have a lot more design freedom. Maybe someday.
