Summary

I went looking for an already designed case for my BeagleBone black Wifi. To my surprise I could find only the older BeagleBone black which has only a wired NIC. However I found one which fit,and would pass, but had a big hole in it where the 8P8C would be.

There was also one other thing that bothered me. There was no mounting tabs. No way to secure this puppy down.

All I really had to do is redesign the lid. Luckily the wifi antenna's lined up into the corners of the existing notch. So I redesigned the lid with a little bracket which has 2 round notches the exact diameter of the wire so that the lid will capture the antennas snugly but comfortably.

Then I added tabs to mount the case on to the lid. There was another thing I didn't like, and that was the fact that the lid didn't fit snug and would fall off pretty easily. So the mounting tabs being on the lid means, that when it is mounted down, the case will not open. Also, when it is not mounted, the long tabs keep the lid on.

Since there are no other cases out there for this model BeagleBone, I think this will see a lot of use.
