Button Extensions

For the buttons, I cut up a plastic ball point pen refill. I cleaned out the ink, cut 3 pieces to length and used a drill bit to ream each piece so it barely fit over the button. In the end, to get a secure fit, I used an Xacto knife to make 2 small cuts in the button end of each extension. Now the extensions pop onto the buttons and fit snugly through the holes in the case. Works perfectly.

Added advantage: The refill was white plastic. The glow from the backlight illuminates the refill pieces so I have illuminated buttons. Kewl!
