Dark Meteroid: Here's a thought. Get a crest dental floss case, ribbon style floss. It's Outside measurements 38mm widex 50mm tallx17 mm deep. The one with flip top marlboro box type lid. The S-10 is 28mmWx42mmTx11mmD.
Open the dental floss box it's split Vertcally along side top to bottom. I used dikes (from hay harvesting days) and files to excise all lumps and bumps on the interior. Also excise top lip on Front secton. A Dremel cutting and sanding tool would do it perfectly, with engineering precision. I used slash and burn technique on mine. I may get a new box and be more careful next time. Anyway I'm letting the glue dry on place I cracked top front edge and where I glued back in the plastic window. I think with minor modifications and a bit of drilling the top flap I've got a hard case to drop S10 in. Cons it's ugly and you have to take it out to turn unit on or off. But it will brotect the S10 from being beat up by a lap top or keys in your pocket. Nice quick DIY project to keep you out of the Super J or Eskimo Joes tonight. Think of it as the MP3 equivalent of CMoy amplifier. He uses altoid tins as a case for his amplifiers, (check it out on EBay) . Jim
