I really like the layout! I understand your desire to have something super compact and portable, but I think if you are every going to try and produce this case for consumers that all of the IO cables coming out of the top will make it unpalatable to most. If it is a one off and it is just for you, then ignore it. That being said...I have noticed that there is no handle and that this case would be a little unwieldy to carry in its present configuration. Perhaps you could implement a handle and a cable cover at the same time? If not, perhaps make a cable cover that is removeable. Flip the the case over and make extendable case feet (thinking some L shaped feet that slide up into the case body but can be pulled down and rotated to lock?) That wold let you keep the small size and hide the cables. With retractable feet you could even orient the case either way.I really think you have one of the more innovative layouts I've seen in a while!
