      Waho that box looks great ("router style"). Does anyone know a source thats available form germany? (also ebay/aliexpress).

          @LastSamurai you need to paste in the test after the link onto the end of the url. Else search for "Scullcom Hobby Electronics #14 - GPS System with Arduino Mini & OLED Display" in youtube.

            The Custom Enclosure Factory on AliExpress has some nice cases.

            And for a ghetto option, I've got a few old Mentos chewing gum containers around the place :) (This one is stuck to the side of the Central heating unit with magnets. WIN_20150919_11_00_45_Pro.jpg

                              Thanks. I looked into it this morning. I guess pre-built boxes are what's best for me. A simple black box like this or similar will probably do the job:

                                      Good find.

                                      3x AA seems like magic number to aim for. It gets you 4.5v, so you can run directly from battery with no divider.

                                          Hello!

                                          I ordered these boxes. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/small-plastic-project-box-electronics-LED-junction-housing-10-pcs-73-36-24mm-plastic-enclosure-for/32244686811.html

                                          They have a nice design and are very small. I fit 2AA batteries, arduino pro mini and an nrf24 inside the box. It's a tight fit! you have to cut some plastic away from the battery holder and also remove the pins from the nrf module. But the result looks very professional. :)
                                          Price is also very good!

                                          So far I use them for door / window sensors.
