Zoidberg - LilyGo T-Deck Meshtastic Powered Node case
Zoidberg - LilyGo T-Deck Meshtastic Powered Node case
Zoidberg is a case for the LilyGo T-Deck that has been designed to have the smallest bezels feasibly possible (3mm!) with an internal structure that supports and protects the devices components. It does this while requiring no nuts, bolts or screws to construct it.... Zoidberg is much more than a plastic box.
PLEASE NOTE: Zoidberg does not include the LilyGo T-Deck or Battery, as with my other cases these have to be purchased separately. Thats all you need though!
Zoidberg uses a "sandwich" design that includes three main parts, the main body, mid-chassis and back cover. The mid-chassis sit in the middle of the case and protects the battery, preventing it from making contact with the components of the T-Deck, while forming a physical connection between the front and back of the device. This makes Zoidberg feel "solid" with no flex in the keyboard.
Zoidberg can use one of three high quality batteries, two from EEMB and one from MakerFocus that provide 15-20 hours of run time. The use of these batteries is only possible because of the provided adapter cable which I had manufactured in bulk. Links to where to buy the batteries can be found at the bottom of the description.

- Zoidberg Case
- SMA Pigtail cable
