I am not the author of this project. However, there was no specific thread about this project on this forum. And the project was only mentioned at [this comment](https://community.frame.work/t/framework-computer-mainboard-case-contest-on-printables/59576/8). So, I decided to create this thread for people who want to talk about this project. > **[Framework Portable handheld Case (Beth Deck rev. 1.5) by Beth Le | Download...](https://www.printables.com/model/1051411-framework-portable-handheld-case-beth-deck-rev-15)** > > This is a portable Handheld based on Frameworks 13" main board.

Looks like it won the Printables Framework case contest. > **[Framework Computer Mainboard Case - Extended! | Contest theme | Printables.com](https://www.printables.com/contest/449-framework-computer-mainboard-case)** > > Design custom 3D-printed case, mount, or accessories for the Framework Mainboard! We’re looking for innovative solutions that highlight the Mainboard’s capabilities as a powerful standalone computer. Whether it’s a sleek case for a mini desktop... Contest run by Printables, not Framework themselves, as I understand it. ---

Yeah, that’s cool. And it seems Beth Deck won the contest run by Printables, and Beth Deck was also introduced at Framework’s Framework (2nd Gen) Event | 2025 Launch Event [video 22:11](https://www.youtube.com/live/-8k7jTF_JCg?feature=shared&t=1331).
