Looking great thus far! It really looks like you know what you're doing.
1. The side window would have been great by itself. The etching would have been great by itself. Together, it just doesn't quite look right...maybe that's just me, but I would almost try to window the other side of the case and put the etching there. Probably too late for that.
2. The etching. Great work! I did a case themed on the Halo 2 Limited Edition case, and I wanted to etch the logo, but I've never etched before. I spraypainted. What comes in the etching kit?
(Damn chrome spraypaint...fingerprinted to hell. I wish I could find the pictures I took right after I finished it)
3. Does the trapdoor actually open? That's freakin sweet!
