Comment to design. That look very impact-resistant.. Do it really need to withstand to be run over by the lifetrack? I think it could be made a bit more cheap and easy with 3mm sheet of aluminum bent and screwed together. Similar if you know how most internal PC-powersupplys is constructed. --[[User:Jth|Jth]] 12:19, 4 November 2012 (CET) | Comment to design. That look very impact-resistant..

Bent-metal screw-on frames are definitely effective and have their applications. But the thin-ness of the sheet metal and the screw-on assembly prevents the performance of such cases from achieving waterproofing- which is essential for outdoor deployment of the case without a roof over it. For indoor applications, the conceptual design you mentioned would indeed be appropriate; but note that bending wide sections of 3mm thick aluminum is no small feat- we simply do not have the tools for that at the moment. | Bent-metal screw-on frames are definitely effective and have their applications.
