Solved. Just need to cut out for the charge cord.

You mean that is not a metal that automatically charges the Smart Controller? What kind of cheap junk did you machine? (g)

Beautiful work. But I'd round off the corners even though it looks fantastic.

Prototype. Next one will be better.

I saw that one too. When I clicked on the picture that shows the eyelets, I was not convinced they looked very durable.
I actually ordered this one just because I liked the eyelets better.
We shall see.

I bought the Skyreat ones, arrived today. They appear durable and I like how thick the lanyard is.

Pictures of eyelets please. I’d like to see if what I saw on amazon is close to what they really are.

They do look a little thin on the outside edge of the hole. Probably will be fine. Just looked like the hole could be a little smaller. Just my opinion on that piece. I’m guessing that the piece that goes in the hole is how they decided what size to drill.

I suspect that most of the spring clips are a pretty standard "diameter" to make sure that they don't fail or flex/bend too much. I recall the hook on one of my camera case strap breaking a few years back. Looked like what we use to call "pot" metal. Just broke and you could see the crystalline structure at the break. I had to tie it to the camera case for the rest of the three week ski trip.

Just make sure to get metric 4 (I'm not sure that that means 4 mm or 4 is just a size number for a metric screw of that dimension).

(Aside: Found this in discussion on the dimension: "It’s a bit more accurate than that, everything from the diameter of the bolt without the thread, with the thread, pitch of the thread and even the shape of the thread is defined to a tolerance.

But yes, broadly, take a 4mm rod, cut a thread on it with an M4 die, and it’ll fit into an M4 hole.")

So, it has nothing to do with threads per mm or the pitch of the threads but is the diameter of the darn thing!.

Ok thanks. Yes that's correct it is 4 mm with a .7 pitch.

If you would like, I can send you two of these. Just need an address.

Do you have link for that screw? Or an official name or description that could be used for internet search? Very clean solution.
