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)?
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.

I used a standard-sized metal box - not very elegant, but at least it
provides some shielding (although this is not required).

I also have a second sure board, inside an anti-static bag, inside a
thick black bag (to stop the blue LED's light!). Works fine.
