Silicone Case for HP 50G
as you might know there is Guerrilla Silicone Case for Texas Instruments TI Nspire widely available which is great...
then i thought why there no such thing for the dear HP50G !!!??
as you know these things are getting more and more expensive and rare and I think we better provide proper protection for the units that we have; the 50G is the last RPL machine at the end of the day...

in my opinion the case should have:
- nice rubber finish that provide better grip and protection
- one-piece shell that fits very snugly
- opening for the keys to stick out

I think if some one started such project there would be a demand for it
see the attached photo
the mentioned TI case is actually loose low quality silicon, what I am suggesting here is hard, high quality rubber/silicon... just like the rubber on hand-held Digital Multi-meters
it could be one-piece, slip-in case or two-piece, screw-fixed clam shell

look, let's face it; the 50G is flimsy piece of chinese plastic that really feels like a cheap thing in hand specially when compared to 48G and other old hp's and yet there is not a lot of 50G out there and guess what!! they are freakishly crazy expensive so we better be very careful with the ones we have.
and once these are gone you can kiss RPL goodbye

I personally don't mind dropping over 50$ (heck maybe 100$) for something that gives 50G a real heft and makes it feel like a nice 48S/G in my hand
and of course I don't expect something disgusting like TI silicon case mentioned above, that is why I was talking about digital multi meter-like rubber maybe something permanent or screw-fixed at least.
it gotta be thick, heavy-duty and sturdy; something that would give some heft to the the rather cheap hollow original case
you know what would be even better; building whole new substitute swap case for the 50G but i know that would be difficult..

more design suggestions are welcomed...
