First of all, Thanks for all the work you put on your boards and it's attached documentation. It is a pleasure to work with it 
Sorry if I make any words mistake, I am far from good with English :/
I did made most of modification using a milling machine to be sure to get the best result as possible.
Before this I have modify another case using cutting plier, razor blade and file to have a good visual reference.
Most milling path are "polish" to avoid whitish visual.

For L2 and R2, I have use original button that are cut using turning machine.
A little note: For all who want to be able to remove X, Y, L2, R2 cover button, you can use paper glue stick , it work just great
Wires that come from battery connector to analog input is a resistor divider I use to monitor battery voltage.
For strange reason, U1 on addon board output a voltage that go from 3.5v to 3.6v, after replacing it with another chip, I now have a steady 3.25v running on battery or on USB.

On the front shell, I cutted the zone where the screen go as little farer to be allow me to see information that I display outside the area controlled by the driver that controls the lcd when I tilt the console.
It work using 2 programs I have made, first one generate a png picture using libgd (battery voltage, cpu usage and temperature, wifi speed and time), second one display png picture on specific coordonate on the framebuffer used for lcd.
I will post link during the next week in the forum, please note that it is only tested on CM3 and not Zero.

The final result is really good in real world, my phone hate my workbench light :/
