A case for the Heltec V4 with GPS that I added a cutout for a small power switch to and replaced logos with Meshtastic.

I took the remix from Tom_Ash and added a cutout for a power switch to it because I prefer being able to completely turn off the node to conserve battery. I also added the Meshtastic logo to the front and back of the case.

I added the switch between a male and female JST 1.25mm connector so that I didn't have to cut the battery wires and I can still remove it from the case if needed. The power switch is held in place with superglue. I also added a route for the wires along the bottom of the case so that they would not have to be run alongside the antenna coax to reduce any possible interference. I used 26 AWG wire and twisted them together.
