Makey Makey 1.2 Protective holder

This design arose out of need for cases for our Makey Makey 1.2 boards. There were a few designs for cases for the early prototype v 1.1; but nothing that satisfied what I thought we needed for the revised commercial boards.

I wanted is the PCB board held snugly with a retaining clip, that could be pushed back for easy removal of teh PCB when needed. I wanted the board to 'ride on' pins under the board that did not interfere with PCB tracing. And, I wanted to give access to the more advanced connectors of the bottom without too much exposure. Moreover, I wanted the opening for the micro-usb to be positioned so that 3rd party cables or replacement USB cables would also fit when plugged in. Lastly, the PCB board had to be easier to hold with added thickness and rounded edges for gripping, with a clear view of the surface.

As a consideration to other educators I kept decorations or addormant to a minimum.
