Here are some photos of the amplifier I just completed, built exactly according to the schematic and circuit board layout I posted earlier.
I borrowed a trick from my electric R/C flying days, where electronic speed controls often used heatshrink tubing as an enclosure. Here the tubing just acts as a sub-enclosure to provide some strain relief:
Here it is in the case:

Oh, by the way, I measured the exact current consumption to be 3.63mA. Adding a red LED and 470 Ohm resistor would increase this to 19.2mA, thus cutting battery life to less than 1/5 of what it would be without the LED.
