We'll be releasing GPS cases in Feb.

@Chris - Good to hear. The newer cases for the APM's look very professional. Can't wait to see what's in store in the new year.

Woah. I thought I was hard on my stuff. 

I nailed a light pole some time back. It took my frame out of commission, but didn't mangle any of my flight electronics. 

How'd you manage to separate the GPS and carrier board?

How about a case for the 3DR radio transmitter. That small circuit board sticking out of my netbook is just asking for trouble. I've already broken an antenna off one when the netbook was knocked over. I really like the APM case but I think the tolerances for some of the openings are a bit tight. I had to file out the USB opening and the connector opening for the GPS to get access to them.

Use a candy box like tic-tacs or similar. They work great and you get candy!

Darrell, here's the case I made for my 3DR radio:

Darrell: Ditto. Coming in Feb. We're making enclosures for almost all external components. We've got injection molding skillz and we're going to use them!

Hey Mark, what a great idea. Off to the workshop I go (which is actually my dinning room table).

As for you Chris, love the attitude. Get out there and start injecting with those molding skillz! :-)

Try double wrap of heatshrink folded over itself to seal one end

I've used a case I bought at conrad for my Ublox GPS, some foam and your fine.
