Lars(website) designed a case for his MSP430 Launchpad and his LCD Touch BoosterPack. He explains what went into getting the capacitive panel to register touches through the top plate. You can see his build thread here.
Here’s another attempt of making a case for the MSP43o Launchpad, with room for the LCD board I’ve made and touch sensors. The black side is 3d-printed, while the top and bottom is laser-cut. In this model I’ve used screws to fasten the top and bottom plate, but it may have been prettier to glue the top plate on. I could have chosen a less transparent plexiglass/acrylic, but I did it this way in the prototype to show the inside. It would probably be nicer with a less transparent one, but I would have had to cut a hole for the LCD display. I wonder if I could maybe cut a square hole for the lcd display and cut a similar square in transparent plexi, and glue it inside the whole. I might try that out.
He alo went ahead and designed a second iterative case for his LCD Button BoosterPack.
