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
