Patrick, I received the case from you safe and sound. My SB2 is looking like the day it left the factory again. I should have ordered two lol Thanks for packing it so well. I really appreciate your service and you are obviously just doing me a favor instead of making $. We need more honest

I have an SB1 in a box somewhere, I'll have to dig it out and see how the coating is looking. Maybe it's exposure to light or something? -- radish http://www.last.fm/user/polymeric radish's Profile:

I have had different Squeezeboxes including the Transporter. But my first Squeezebox 2 is still amongst my favorite due to its low profile form factor. But for some reason the case has gone all sticky and gummy on me. I cannot find a replacement case in the Slim accessories store. Does

Hmmm, you're not alone - my Sb1 has gone that way and two SB2's are also heading that way - be great to get another case but wouldn't bet on it. -- Apteryx Apteryx's Profile:

I think your only chance will ne a second hand, perhaps a dead unit. Or you could contact Sales directly to see if they have any spares tucked away in the Santa Clara facility. I wouldn't get my hopes up though. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3

I remember seeing some creative and handy people made their own case mods. I wonder if there are shops online that could do custom made cases? Failing that I guess there must be small handy shops that can do custom works. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter+Hi-Line RCA-DIN, Naim

Thats always an option. The SB1 and SB2 were the best units for this due to the screen being seperate from the main PCB. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black, *1*x sb2 wired (silver), *1*x sb (black) *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield)

Is this happening to just the black ones? I have one SB1 and two SB2's painted silver and they're all fine. Since Slim Devices painted cases for resale, painting the case might be an option. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's
