I've considered a vertical USB header but I think they are all SMD. I'll have a look at the possibilities.
I have a little micro USB breakout and the pins are all in a row at one end. It would be difficult to plug it in wrong way round as it is the same height as the Pico and projects out over the USB isolating links and the hub module.
To get a full size SD card slot in I have to lose a USB from the front. Everything gets pushed along. :( Either that or you have to cut the LH front PCB support pillar out of the case and fit another somewhere else near that corner. The full size SD card LH pad is up against the LH front support for the VS1053 and the back RH corner of the card socket is up against the VS1053 header! I can't fit anything else underneath.
--------------------
I've squeezed in a LM1117T and a ESP8266-01S. It is on COM1 using GP45 and GP46 if they aren't being used for analogue or by additional Port inputs.

Update:
I think I've managed it - but lost the front panel LED. :( There's now a USB at both ends of the front panel - nice for two controllers. :)
