Okay, sure.
First, it's nowhere near done. I'd just finished cutting the metal, and the holes for the ports, and fit the whole thing together for the first time. I'm planning to make bezels for the ports from aluminum, paint everything, add some decals and a soft cover out of black rubber I found. I really want make it look like a movie prop.
The 'purpose' was that I wanted a portal Pi. I built an arcade machine (http://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/1nwsk2/my_mame_rebuild_with_pi_xposted_to_rcade/) and kept wishing I had some way of sitting on the couch in the living room while configuring it I get tired of sitting at my workbench on that stool after a while.
As for why I chose to make it a prop-style cyber-deck because I have a friend who wants to make a sci-fi movie, and I told her I thought I could probably wire up some props for her, but most of the stuff I build is more function than fashion, so I decided it would be a cool project to make something that looks like it could be used as a movie prop. I already had the video glasses, and the Pi is simple to wire together, so it seemed like a good idea.
How will I use it? I'll use it for a way to configure Pi images on the couch, and I'll connect it to my giant projector in the theater room, so I can play arcade games in there, and watch movies from it. It'll just be nice to have a Pi that I can easily move around the house. Also, I'm thinking my next 'prop' project will be to make a pair of headphones with a 2" LCD mounted in front of it, which will be mostly just to continue practicing making props, but also so I can play arcade games while watching TV with my wife in the livingroom.

I cut the keyboard out of one of these when I moved to a 10" tablet.

The 'case' was one of these pencil boxes that I found on clearance and just happened to be exactly the right size for the keyboard:

Other than that, there's just an 8 battery box and a UBEC for 5v conversion, a Raspberry Pi, and a 4-port USB hub that I hacked to shit to fit into the box.
I thought the URL was going to be in the title... oh well. Here it is:

I have one of these, with an OTG cable for my cheap 7 inch not nexus table, it's not horrible
cheap
bluetooth, detachable keyboard?
There's a $10 case on Amazon that has a keyboard built in and also has a stand. If you order it, you need to get a OTG adapter ($0.97) in order for it to work. It seems like it has good reviews

Probably not good. I bought this keyboard case for my nook. It looks like the keyboard parts are identical between those two case.
I found the keyboard is too narrow to type on comfortably. I realize now that any keyboard I would want to type on, would have to be wider than a 7" tablet.
Holy smokes!
Not exactly what I was looking for (I was looking for the folding part), but this is awesome for the price.
What do you think of this case?
It should come with a cord or adapter that lets it connect a usb keyboard. As for the keyboard. amazon has some decent tablet stuff on the cheap.
You should buy this scarf for yourself because I know it would look gorgeous on you! I'd love this Kindle keyboard stand for SO's Kindle Fire because our computer's are old and horrible and it would be nice to type on the kindle! :) Thanks for the contest!
