How to create pill-shaped concave on part of the surface of a solid?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to render a Gameboy and I am having difficulty in creating the dimples around the A / B buttons.

I've seen different examples but none of them mention how to create a pill-shaped concave or creating a concave on only a part of the face.

Can anyone help me out?

1. One easy way is to draw a overall slot.
2. Select the centerline.
3. Select Normal Construction from the context menu. 
4. Exit the sketch.
5. Use the Revolve tool to create the depression.  You may need to adjust the height of the sketch above the Gameboy face to get a pleasing depression.

There are many other ways to accomplish this.

attached is an example showing 2 approaches.  the first is the revolve described by @etfrench , and the second involves a sweep, which can give you a more nuanced control of the cross section if it is needed.  here's a pic also-
