If I were redesigning the AuraHD case, I would not have the bezel as the part that closes the case. I would have the screen opening and bezel be what is now the back of the case, the part that the electronics fits into. The case would open from the back. It would still be two parts, just the case and a back plate/cover, instead of the case and the bezel/cover.

I may find the time and energy to fire up my old mill and find a 3/8th inch aluminum plate to turn into such a case. I could use the IR transparent plastic guide from one of my AuraHDs Bezels. It might take some careful measuring to be sure everything will lineup properly, and that I have the hole for the screen exactly correct, in the case. If I do it I'll post pictures.

What I would really like would be some Gold Dirilyte to make the case from. I guess I would have to melt down a flatware set and do a casting ( it is a bronze alloy )
