I don’t think the case needs to be thicker, just put batteries under your hands on each side, then the case remains slim and there is a handgrip for you.

Good Job Bacteria :), now try an UzeBox in there :) It is only $18 from Digikey to add RGB open source gaming (atmega644 and a dozen resistors, plus an 8-bit shift register if you want to emulate an NES pad :) )

I never really got into portable game systems (or any game systems for that matter) due to my upbringing being rather cash strapped, but I did play my fair share on friends’ systems. My biggest gripe about some of the systems was the screen size. Too small for my liking. This would be a rather perfect mod for me as well as a few others I can think of off the top of my head. I’d probably make the case a tad thicker to be able to hold a larger battery for longer play times, but that’s just me.

and w00t! the comments box fits in firefox again!

The system has shoulder buttons, left and right; they are
the small red tact switches on the top of the system; put
there as my fingers rest next to these positions when
holding the case. In fact, I can easily press both shoulder
buttons and the A and B at the same time (handy for the
menu options on a flashcard). Works great!

On my website there are details of how to make one of these
systems.

Nice looking little thing, if a little peculiar… It seems to be missing the shoulder buttons though, which I would’ve thought would reduce the playability to a slight degree…
