My plan is to add a power-supply unit and a cover for the whole. So first we plan about the power-supply.
Power-supply
For powering the Arduino we add a Li-ion cell. But its voltage its only 3.7V. But we need a 5V supply, so we add a boost converter which make 5V from 3.7V. For the charging the Li-ion cell add an intelligent charger circuit which maintain the Li-ion cell in a good condition. For indicating the battery low voltage condition add an extra circuit to indicate that it need a charging. This is the planning for power-supply section.
Here we only use SMD components for this project. Because we need a small size PCB. Also this SMD work improve your skills. Next is the protective covering.
Protective Covering
For protective covering I plan to use plastic name boards. The planed shape is rectangle and make holes for I/O ports and the USB port. Then plan to add some plastic color stickers as art work to improve the beauty.
Why not just power it from the laptop you're going to need to develop and download sketches? Uses same USB cable too.
