This diagram shows the connections to be made:
The LiPoly backpack sits atop the Pro Trinket on the BUS, G and BAT+ pins, and the power jumpers are modified to connect a switch. This makes for a compact USB-rechargeable design
The vibration sensor switch connects to Pro Trinket pins 3 and 4. We use this to turn on when the necklace is 'tapped'
The remaining connections are:

However, the Pro Trinket and display are installed back to back, so the routing won't exactly follow the diagram above…one’s rotated 90 degrees with respect to the other. Also, much shorter wire lengths can be used! Here’s the process…
Lilon / LiPoly Backpack
Prepare the circuit to work with an on-off slide switch by carefully cutting the trace between the two 0.1" holes with a box around them (the battery output line)
Add the On/Off Switch
Once that trace is cut, you can solder two wires from the power-switch pads to a switch (like a slide switch, or a pushbutton one, for example)
Measure wires
Align the Pro Trinket up with the display and appropriately cut each wire so that it can reach each through-hole.
Display power
Connect the VIN pin on the display to Bat pin on the LiPoly backpack and solder the LiPoly header pins into the Pro Trinket.
Solder display and Pro Trinket
Follow the circuit diagram and double check each connection before soldering.
Vibration sensor
Insert the vibration sensor into pins 3 and 4. Use flat pliers to grab the ends and bend it over the Pro Trinket. Make sure to avoid covering the reset button.
Fit circuit into enclosure
Insert the completed circuit into the printed case at an angle, port side first.
Back Cover
Add one #4-40 x 3/8 flat Philips machine screw into the chamfered hole on the cloudCover.stl part.
Add buttons
Paint or print each button in a sperate color and glue them on the the front of the cloudCase.stl part.
Make it Wearable
Add a split ring to the top loop of the cover and link it to your favorite necklace.
