Re: TI-H: New case

<< The reason no one want's to bother with the cases is most of the people
who understood how it works, realized it would be VERY expensive to buy
equipment and make custom molds, especialy molds that can fit the calc's
front. The recomendations on hand tooling the cases just to finnish them
off are great if you're doing a few, but many more than "a few" were
actualy interested! That would have been hell!!!
I'm working on a simple one that uses plain old project boxes, however,
once I find a properly sized box, there will be NO need for any custom
molding. Anyone can buy the box and build it on theire own if they want
to try!
Basicly, the top will have a hole cut into it to it the calc. The front
piece of the calc glues into the hole, and the battery case is mounted
on layers of excess plastic. To replace batteries, remove the 4 screws
from the bottom of the project box. If done right, the batteries will
NOT pop out and your "enemies" won't be able to pull them out any more!
I'll work on the idea if people are interested. It should be similar to
my old design. >>
I know how it works but I am sure they would make money off of it and all it
would be a well desinged case also so help with the mold making process. Keep
me posted on you design!
