The parts I used are as follows

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Screen: https://a.co/d/17AqkYy

Battery Case (Needs to be 1.5 version or newer): https://geekworm.com/products/x306

Battery (As long as they are the same form factor and power output any should be good): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDRBR2M1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 

It's not yet built into the model, but I am planning on swapping one of the corners for a heated insert to screw down the faceplate as an option. 

I don't have any currently to test with but it would be advisable to use m. 2.5 standoffs to secure down the pie to the board on the side of the screen that does not connect to the pins.

The current features are: 

- magnetic faceplate to allow you to access power button and swap SD cards 

- hidden slot for an additional SD card inside the case 

- from my testing it is completely safe to Plug the device in while swapping the battery to retain power 

- Access port for USBCThe current features are:

HAPPY PRINTING!
