Raspberry Pi cases come in many shapes and forms but this has to be my favourite for portability and sheer retro gaming nostalgia.
Yes, it is a case for the Pi Zero but in a Gameboy form factor, and sporting a beautiful colour screen.

The Pi itself actually goes into a cartridge-style holder that slots into the back, presumably this means you could have multiple "cartridges" for multiple pi? Not sure I would go that route seeing as the SD cards are swappable and you can fit a LOT on one SD ...
Seeing as it is powered by the Pi it means anything a Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W/Pi 1 is capable of, this is also capable of.
Unfortunately, Amiga emulation is not optimized as yet for the low powered Pi models, but I had no problem loading and playing tons of presumably MORE demanding machine emulations.
If you do need the additional power, there is a Pi 4 case coming from experimentalpi.com (says August, might already be available in some countries) that has the Gameboy feel also, but takes over the entire space, has extra buttons, and uses a small lipo battery instead of the regular A batteries in this guy.
From a STEM point of view, the new kit will likely be a better fit (despite the increased cost) due to the fact all the ports will be available, making it more general purpose while still protecting the Pi itself.
That said the GPIO will still be hidden and taken up by providing signal to the colour screen.
Back to the Zero, if you get the W version of course you can use wifi and bluetooth, just get the version WITHOUT pins soldered as the case uses pogo pins to establish the connections.
