I've had my cmoybb in an altoids tin for about a year now.  (See avatar) I'm looking for an enclosure to make it a little sleeker and to be honest I'm tired of answering questions about what it is when I'm flying, I do a bit of business travel.
 
I ordered this enclosure:

The problem was is that it's not wide enough or long enough.  I thought it would be but I was just a little off.  I tried to re-arrange my pcb but it's better I find another alternative.  So here is where I need some help.  At first I thought I would go with the bigger version of the 1455 but I think plastic might be the way to go.  I'm looking at this one:

I especially like that it has a battery door and with plastic I have more flexibility where I put the switch for my bb, the ac power and the LED.  It's bigger but I can live with that if everything fits nicely and I have access to it easily. 
 
Has anyone ever tried using this enclosure or have any input?  I was going to order the second part but after the first mistake I figured this is the best place to get some help.  I appreciate any input!  Thanks

I think CMoy used a case like that for his orignal amp. Look at an engineering (measurements) drawing of the case to be certain that your amp and hardware will fit. It is the usable inside measurements that you need. The battery compartment is great. Some people like a transparent case.
