WINGMAN GRIP CASE, CUSTOM DESIGNED ERGONOMIC ADDON FOR PANIC PLAYDATE, PD PURPLE

Wingman Playdate Case.  The first play-through ergonomic grip case designed specifically for Playdate.

This is a custom designed, play-through style ergonomic grip case for the Playdate handheld game system.  It's a one-piece, 3D-printed shell made from an eco-friendly, bioplastic material known as PLA.  The Playdate is inserted into the case, and is secured through the existing Playdate screw holes with included hardware (3x M2 x 12mm bolts & nuts, mini allen wrench also included).  The purposes of this case is to provide a wider, more comfortable grip when holding and playing your Playdate, especially when applying torque with the crank.  Instead of holding Playdate with your fingers and thumb, grip with your entire palm for a more ergonomic and relaxed hold.

All ports remain open and accessible, specifically:
✅ The USB-C cable that originally came with your Playdate is compatible with Wingman. 
✅ The top power/sleep button is accessible with a generous cutout.
✅ An audio channel is cutout for games that access the condenser microphone.  
✅ Stereo headphones can still be used, but only narrow audio cables will fit, such as iPhone earbuds.
❌ Not compatible with the upcoming official Playdate Stereo Dock from Panic.

A lot of work went into modeling and prototyping this case.  I carefully manufacture and test each one using my own Playdate.  It takes several hours to produce just one case and I make sure that each one passes my level of quality assurance. 

I also tested with several different yellow filament colors and found a great "sunflower" yellow that very closely resembles the color of the Playdate d-pad, menu, and B & A buttons.  I think it's a great complimentary color but note that it's not meant to be a perfect color match.  

CUSTOM COLORS:  Please visit my store profile page, click on "Request Custom Order", and let me know the details.  Provide a photo if you have one.  I'll let you know the added cost and processing time which is typically an extra $5-$10 and 3-5 days to obtain the material.  When the case is ready to purchase, you'll receive a link to a private listing to complete the custom order.  

GUARANTEE:  If you're not completely happy with your item or have any concerns, please let me know and I'll make it right.  It's as easy as that.  

USA SHIPPING:  I offer free shipping to you, but returns or replacements are at the buyer's return shipping expense, within 30 days of delivery.   Free shipping does not mean cheap shipping!  All items are securely boxed in 200-pound edge crush test certified boxes - never sent in bubble mailers.  You'll receive a USPS Ground Advantage (formerly USPS First-Class) tracking number upon shipment. 

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - OUTSIDE THE USA:  I gladly ship internationally, but this will be at the buyer's expense.  I use FedEx International shipping with delivery to global markets in 2–5 days.  You'll receive a Fedex International tracking number upon shipment.  Please include your phone number with the order notes as this is required for delivery.
