Switched to a new case design and, for once, kept the mini 2 dB whip antenna that came with the board -- all my other nodes have an SMA connector with 5, 6, and (supposedly) 10 dB antennas. Has a 2000 mAh li-po inside. Quarter for scale.
Forgive the shoddy print: I'm still tuning my 3D printer. My larger cases turned out great, but this smaller one warped like crazy Will hopefully have a better print of that case soon. I don't have any red filament, but I'm probably going to paint the buttons red to give it a ThinkPad motif.
Edit: For anyone curious, the case is the Alley Chat HT Pocket designed for the Heltec V3 board. There's two variants: one with an opening for an SMA connector and one without.

Keep in mind for your higher gain antennas on your other nodes that you could actually be missing some nodes because of the way that higher gain antennas work.
