Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Mar 23, 2008 Type: User Review Disappointed

I have three of these enclosures, and I needed a fourth, so I ordered another one. I was disappointed to find that they reduced the case size, and it now doesn't match my first three. Perhaps a minor point, but disappointing never the less. read full review | report as inappropriate
