Case it!
OK, now you're ready to put it in the case. Go buy a tin of Altoid gum, and eat them or give them to your friends. I think they're disgusting so don't send them to me.
Here is a hack that was sent in by KRHAiNOS, for making the mintyboost more sturdy, click to see the large version of the image.
The USB specification says: USB1 maximum current is 100mA and USB2 is 500mA. By twiddling the 10K resistors you can get different charging currents. 100mA is the most efficient but maybe you want faster charging instead!
All of these tables assume that the pins are tied to the voltages through a ~10K resistor. Float means the resistor is disconnected
