Retropi Case, my wife named it "Rodrigo." uses adafruit Powerboost 1000C, adafruit Class D Audio Amplifier - MAX98306, 2 8 OHM speakers 0.5W, Adafruit SPDT switch, PiGrrl zero gamepad PCB's. 2 3.7v Lipo 2500mAh batteries, OSOYOO 3.5" HDMI touchscreen, Adafruit 6mm tactile button switches, a B503 50K Ohm 5pin dual dial wheel pot and a 3.5 mm stero male connector and of course a raspberry pi 3. Most of these items can be found on Amazon.com
There's cheaper builds out there but I wanted to build one from scratch and perhaps iterate it later to add analog sticks but that might be a while since this project took a lot longer than I first anticipated. For those looking to build their own I've included the files. If you build your own and make improvements I'd love to hear about them.
There's a few modifications that I need to make, the dpad and buttons pcb needs to be about 1.5mm closer to the inside face and a couple holes can be put in the front face to expose the on, charging and low battery leds. I also didn't put in a riser for the audio amp circuit. If I get enough requests I'll do this and update it but you should be able to make those modifications yourself.
