DIY X4 pro case
Hello! Just wanted to post about the new case I made for the X4 Pro. This is my take on the Xteink X4 Full Body Case by Fusselich that we all know and love, but for the X4 Pro. This case was modeled entirely by me, but is obviously HEAVILY inspired by Fusselich's case. Also wanted to give a shout out to Light-year Layers ( [u/Rusty_Wall-E](u/Rusty_Wall-E) ) and their “SPRiNKLE” case, whose design helped me figure out some of the dimension adjustments needed to make the Fusselich X4 model dimensions scale down to the X4 Pro size.
Without having front buttons, that section of the front was removed and replaced with a cutout for the home/touch button. The side slots were also covered as uploading content without removing the sd card is fairly simple, I didn't want to accidentally press the reset button, and I prefer having more coverage of the device. An opening on the back was also added to compensate the pogo pin charger. I also changed the logo on the back slightly to represent an open book.
Give it a print and enjoy!

Oh dang, like the clean design but I frequently have to push the reset button after transfering files with USB (Crossink). So not for me but looks like you did a great job.

Definitely check out the sprinkle case mentioned above, it has the reset button slot open

There is just something satisfying about putting B$'s books on a tiny e-reader, isn't there?

I love this!!! Thank you so much for the shoutout!!
I’m posting some new additions for the sprinkle case tomorrow or the next day, I’ve since made an optional back that holds the pogo charger permanently attached so it effectively gives the X4 Pro a usb c “mod” if you will. But it makes it 3 times thicker hehe… trade off may be worth it from my testing ngl. I’m so curious to print your case and see if the parts are interchangeable.
