They seem to be an unnecessarily complicated construction, which will still allow fine dust to enter. The top part could have had the end pieces glued in place. What material are they made of...plexiglass? Clear styrene? The label on the final pic says "artistic glass", whatever that is. No MRSP on these yet?

Biggs,

Nothing yet they want published. They're still trying to get the cost locked down. They asked that you contact them direct for a price.

Whatever. Acrylic glass = Plexiglass? I was having custom made, pre-sealed cases at a VERY competitive price. Hope these can compete. The only thing I don't like about ordering cases like this is having them arrived cracked!
