Well there was not much choice, I found that the unit is slightly smaller than a business card and about ½ a business card deep.

But I also found almost no plastic case the right size.. so I ended up with a slightly large one I knew I could cut is down.

Also I found many of the cases for sale had battery compartments so looked for a more plain box.

What I ended up with was a Serpac model # A-21.

With this (and any other’s) you still have to cut out a rectangle hold for the face and drill the three holes on top for the push buttons and figure out how to mount or hold the boards in place.

And how to mount this in/onto your car/dash…this case has slighly slopping sides so mounting it will be a little more fun.

I did not want to wait for a mail ordered cast so took what I could lay my hands on.

And as I like to mount my add on gauges (like my scan gauge…still useful in so many other ways..) under the over hang of my dash, I am thinking of desoldering the three buttons so that I can mount them on the face of the case for easier use.
