Looks great Rob! It's a far more finished cabinet for the screen than my poor man's version I made and posted under the following forum:

Housing for unit and screen.
I will say that for 96 cents at WalMart, my Back to School Special on this pencil case is a good starter case. Only took me about ten minutes to cut with a hobby knife and Dremel. It's a soft plastic that is dark tinted so the light sensor has no trouble "seeing" the ambient light. Also, I was lucky that I never had an issue with the Screen dimming. I am using the Elecfreaks 7" and the Led_A resistor was in the proper place. I have my Auto-Dim level set to 5 (Rob, I noticed that the settings limits allows an entry to go to 25... Is this an oversight? ver 1.5) and when the tank is dark, the screen goes 100% black. I have positioned the latch on the pencil case towards the top so that when it rests on my tank's canopy, it has a slight leaning back tilt and is very stable.
I hope there is enough interest in your new case so that we all can benefit from a large quantity purchase. It really gives R-T a polished and professional look!
