This case exposes the USB connector and in the other end has an output for a larger cable (fit's a diameter of 5.5mm nicely) and as part of the case, there is a cable retainer, helps to keep the cable inside the case and not breaking the connections.
I designed this for using it with the https://www.printables.com/model/723123-foot-pedal-switch that I would like to use as a keyboard that only has the button N (I use that for progressing to the next component when hand assembling PCBs)
It's designed to use 4x M3 brass inserts in the bottom part, and 4x M3 x 8mm cap head screws to keep it together
Not all I/O pins are accessible (the case squeezes the pcb) and this won't work with the versions with wifi (the cable retainer is where the wifi module sits), but for the simple stuff where you need to hook up a switch or similar to a computer via USB, this is a quick and cheap solution, that is pretty durable.
