Congrats. You have a nice sense of design and obviously have mastered your 3D printer (with all the associated work which goes into creating and realizing a design in print). The result looks great.
I have used both Touch 1 and Touch 2 screens and highly recommend the latter over the former.
I have also used the SmartPi case. While it certainly works, I also suffered the cabling dilemma. Candidly, I didn't find the adjustable screen positioning to be very useful. I'd prefer something fixed like BestBuy's old, tilted-screen Infocast 8 (a spinoff of Bunny Huang's Chumby series, to remind those were hacking for such devices for fun and profit two decades ago. I liked them so much I bought two when they were being sold off.).
Like the man says, enjoy the music!
