Don't know but I picked up a couple of brand new unopened generic ones at a
car boot sale for £5 each ($7.50). I still have one unopened you could have
at cost but the shipping would be stupid price from here :-(

Incidentally why does the shipping info on that ad specifically say they
will not deliver to Massachusetts or District of Columbia? Is it a tax
thing?

Thanks for the offer Ian, but I found another one here in the states  
for $12.99 at a place called Directron.  I saw that notice about  
shipping also and wondered the same thing.  Must be specifically  
related to that item only as I don't recall ever seeing it on any  
other items purchased from the Geeks.

Just a message from Doug...

Looks like a generic case.

No reason for it to retail for more than $29.99.
