I've ordered a Sure Electronics GPS for my Raspberry Pi.

Like the Raspi itself, it is sold without an enclosure. Unlike
the Raspi there is not enough of a market for custom cases for
this board.
As there are several people here using this board: What
kind of enclosure are you using? Or are you just using the
board "naked" (which I would rather avoid, as accidents
can and will happen, and I am not convinced this board
will survive coffeespills or similar)?
All three of my Sure kits are running inside a standard kitchen freezer
box, costing about a dollar or so!
I just drilled/dremel'd openings for the three connectors and used the
original foam material (cut to size) from the Sure box as a lift/offset
to get the board up from the bottom of the box:

Perfectly workable, dirt cheap. :-)

If there is a case by a manufacturer selling to Europe
(like Hammond Electronics, Bopla, Teko) that is a perfect
fit, I would be especially happy. I suppose for use without
the DB9 serial connector, I just need to drill a larger hole
for the mini-USB, another one for the antenna, and a third
one for the 4 GPIO connections (GNS, RXD, TXD, PPS)?
Bonus points for a flat (not much higher than the board)
enclosure.
