I thought this would be a good new thread... to get more input.
Out of the other thread here is my idea on a chinese button replacement for the protege. As in swap-out-able part.
Casey & Steve, if you guys like it, i'll shoot you the designs. All i'd ask for is one completed... and if you REALLY like it, a prodigy v2 (haha i wish)

the gray is supposed to be plastic. there is 1 part missing from this, a 2 piece button, the contact disk, and a plastic piece that would mate with the current protege button
top view:

what do you guys think about that idea? i saw somewhere you guys like new ideas... here is a new one... to take away all the solder.
i mean this concept can be used by anyone... just throw me a bone if you have a heart.
edit: maybe PS could create a protege v2 with a thicker tube & better end cap threads + the button idea... would make for a kick ... indestructible 14500 mod.
