Just figured that I would start this thread now for input on an idea that I will be working towards over the next few months.
Basically, I am going to take my existing s4 and make a 2-3 piece metal body to replace the existing s4's shell.
I may also attach a midifighter depending on the size inside of the s4, the midifighter setup would be 8 buttons along the left and right sides of the s4.
I would like to add more buttons but I am no software engineer, so using an existing brain is the best that I could do. The only problems that I see is creating the raised rings around the jog wheels.
everything else seems pretty trivial and I have access to all equipment that I should need.
ideas?
Oh, depending on if I get a micrometer, I should be able to have a model up this weekend.

Still no micrometer...getting a little more nervous about ripping it apart after seeing another thread on the forums but hopefully if I get a good design I can get more confident.

Rukks,
I thought about doing the same thing thing a while back. Have you figured out how to remove all of the circuit boards? It looks like the three main large boards are glued in or something.
Thanks,
Chase

I will have a CAD model going after Halloween, they are all glued in, atleast the front and back panel...they plan is to get a good model and possibly prototype going and then get a lil bit of support from a company, or someone who has spilt a drink on their s4, then after I can fit all the parts properly I will go about tearing my apart.
Got a sweet sock monkey foam head I am sculpting right now for halloween, I'll make sure to post on here when im done with it.
