I don't think I put you on the mailing list for the cases, so I forgot
to update the answer to this question. sorry about that.

I've heard from Elektron. they are hard at work on the MnM and MD
updates. they plan on setting up something with the cases, but it will
be at least a few weeks before they do so. also, their cases will not
be Calzone since they want a Swedish or European made case for simplicity.
and their cases will likely be more lightweight like aluminum; they will
also have room for the manual and the power cord. but no word on price yet
since they don't have a manufacturer of the case yet.

well, the case described above will only hold the MnM keyboard version.
but they are supposed to be making one for the MnM module as well; which
can of course be used for the MD since they're the same size.

this is in fact the way that the case will be made. we are planning on
placing orders sometime this week; so let me know if you decide that you'd
like to get in on it.

again, sorry for the late reply.  I had massive email problems for awhile
(and lost several of them for a week while servers were being repaired) and
forgot what I replied to and didn't, etc. anyway, I hope I answered your
questions.
