Hi Stan,
Very interesting but, for me, I have to say that £50+ makes it a non-starter. I am happy with the current case design and can't justify spending that sort of money on merely a cosmetic improvement, despite the current lack of a lid . I feel it might help others to make their mind up if you could provide some indication of what the new case might look like, without giving away anything sensitive.
Cheers,
Dave.
