Hard-Hat Clipable Safety Notification System (#2)

We're looking for small, sleek, manufacurable, and aesthetic designs for a hard-hat clipable safety notification system for construction workers to improve their work safety. The device can sense dangers with internal electronics and alert the user real-time using light and sound notifications.
The device will be clipped to the under-side of the hard-hat (see attached image "placement.png"). The device has LEDs along the curved portion of the PCB and two side-fire speakers to convey dangers to the user (see attached image "PCB.png"). There is a snap-dome push button on the right side of the PCB. Please design a fused rubber actuator for the snap-dome.
Assembly: The front case will have 3mm screw bosses. The clip slides over the boss, next the PCB, then the back case, then a screw to hold it all together (see attached image "assembly.png") .
The project will be pre-payed once there is 3 quality design entries (including CAD files).
40% Manufacturability: The design fits the PCB and can easily and cost-effectively be adjusted for plastic mold injection. The design is 3D printable.
30% Aesthetics: The design is slim and attractive.
10% Creativity: The design does not resemble previous entries and features creative patterns and lines.
10% Water Resistance: micro-USB, speakers, and other entry points employ water resistant designs.
10% Designer Interactions: Designer actively engages with Buyer.
- Housing doesn't match PCB
- Design aesthetic but unrealistic in terms of manufacturability.

Thank you so much for the submissions! I&;ll grade the entries over the weekend, attach a grade sheet, and select winners.

If the USB port is to be made with a mechanical slide in the tool, then you&;ll need a hardened steel mold. The USB port cutout can be made with an open and close mold, but I don&;t know what your tooling budget is.

Do you need it to be at a particular UV rating for this application ?

Please let me know before the contest ends so that I can submit a proper design.

Do you want it subgated or tab gated ?
thanks.

I&;m working on ribs that are to be used as board supports and I&;m not sure what thickness to make them without causing
ugly sink marks on the outside of the housing. I&;m sure others have already considered this, but I haven&;t seen comments on it.
Can you provide some assistance on what the housing wall thickness should be, and what the rib thickness should be ?
I&;m assuming that there is some sort of cosmetic specification that needs to be considered in the design.
Also, are you texturing these parts ? What draft angle should I use and what is the Mold Tech specification you plan on using
for texture if infact you are going to want texture.
Also, is it ok to use multiple slide mechanisms in the injection mold. These increase your mold cost 30-40% and I want to make sure my design is in line with your tooling budget.
Thanks.

Does anyone need more time with their designs? If two or more people do, I&;ll extend the project for 3 days.

Here is some material to help everyone with manufactuability and making models compatible with plastic mold injection:

Solidworks is fine. Just be sure to submit .stl files when you&;re complete with you design so we can 3D print your design.
Can we use solidworks 2016?

If anything, I&;ll extend the competition if everyone needs more time.

Please build the housing exactly to the PCB specifications and 3D models.

There is a 0.5 mm tall micro-controller. Please model 0.5 mm of clearance for the bottom of the PCB.
