Just stumbled on this thread. The newer cd cases are way too brittle. I went through about 10 cases before giving up. They would always break. Use blockbuster video rental covers if you want strong, matching plastic.

Actually I do have it but its broken into pieces.
I used tape to put it together, this shouldnt have any problem to put it on..made to put 2 1/16" gauges.

I can ship it in an envelope since it's light.
