Except for the bare pcb thing, it looks cool..

I cringe thinking about long-term exposure to bare PCBs, sure RoHS is a thing, but it's R(eduction), not E(liminiation).. And those guidelines are under the assumption that the electronics are packaged and not touched to bare skin..

PCBs are still made with fibers which can penetrate the skin, and I'd be worried about exposure to soldermask, solder and what other chemicals are involved.

If you look closely at the picture of it in action, there is a clear acrylic shell covering the PCB on the back. They're actually gripping the acrylic shell. In the picture of the individual components, it appears to be the laser-cut wood pieces. That picture includes a pair of pieces that look like they go on the front (there's a cutout for the D-pad/face buttons), but I don't see them installed on the action shots. I think that the shell may be intended to cover both back and front, and they just didn't install it for the action pictures.

Oh, I see now, yes that's definitely an improvement! Thanks for pointing it out!

As others pointed out when fully assembled most of the board is covered (but visible). We designed the board to function like a devkit for the pico as well so unused pins are broken out on pads.

Oh I thought that was just a cool picture, didn’t realize there is no housing :(

Maybe someone has created a 3d print for one?

There are some backing covers which are laser cut. It's possible to swap with a 3D printed cover and use the same mounting holes.
