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 )
Seems to me you could make a few dollars here I wonder how many of us would jump for that option. I wonder if there might be some insulation issues with it as well, being that the plastic does not conduct electricity and there would be very little need for it.
