I dont know about you guys, but I wish the usb hole on imstos case was a little bigger and the one on this case appears to be even smaller
The hole will actually be made bigger than it is now. With the thickness of this metal case being more than that of the plastic one, the female receptor for the USB doesn't reach out as far so I'm going to get them to make the hole to match the dimensions of the black plastic bit of the male end of the USB (slightly bigger actually so that it has some working room). This will also keep the connection a little more protected.
There were two problems with the prototype that will be fixed. First, the cutout in the metal insert for the USB jack doesn't go back far enough and second I didn't allow enough vertical wiggle room for the USB jack when measuring the height of the cutout on the back wall of the case. Because of this, in the pictures where I have the PCB in there, you may notice that the back side of the board is slightly tilted down as the USB jack could just barely get inside the hole. This will be fixed of course.
Because the metal gets marked during the bending process, I'll will be glass beading them all except if somebody specifically wants one to be left the way it is (maybe they like the rugged look).
The USB hole will be fixed so that it is rounded like the edge of the case instead of square as it is in these images, but it may have some traces of those lines from the cut left, as they must be made to do the bending part. It's possible they could try to weld the lines shut though, I'll ask about it.
For the metal insert, some guiding cuts are made along the left and right walls of the case and the insert will be placed in there and welded into position.
