I would really hate having to vandalize my pristine A500 case for this purpose, but I don't see any other option.
Why don't you vandalise someone else's A500 then? If you can a second closing lid for the side expansion port from someone, you can make a hole in that, thus keeping your own lid in the original state.
Sure, you will still have a switch sticking out, but at least you still can transform your A500 back into an original one :-D
