Given a 5" lcd panel and driver board, figured I'd make a little case; its not super polished but is utilitarian ... does the job. Should fit many or most 5" LCD panels, such as the ones you can get from Adafruit.
Example kit you can stuff in here:https://www.adafruit.com/product/1678
Obviously, the lcd panel is up front; the lcd frame has a bevel on the inside to help support the LCD and keep the viewing area in the right place. There is a cutout on the side for your driver boards input ports (such as HDMI, VGA, composite, power etc.) I didn't make it specific port cutouts as I didnt' want to invest that much time (honesty counts :), and there are affair variety of driver boards available (USB power, DC Barrel jack power; and a slew of possible input signals...); lastly, there is a cutout on top (again, lazily done) for a common set of button strips that I've seen .. some may fit, others you might need to x-acto or hacksaw a bit of space depending where the ribbon cable is and so forth.
