Thank you both.

Maybe just the foam part in just the lid, as I already have the KX1 in a 
waist pack.

I am fooling around with the machine shop program trying to design an 
economical clear polycarbonate (Lexan) clamshell cover.  I have the mold 
for the basic clamshell shell done, and  they price out to about $20-$25 
in small quantity...but getting 25 people to pay up front may be more of 
a pain in the rear than using the suggested Preparation H container, hi 
hi.

KD6WYK suggested I contour it so it is low on the left over the LEDs and 
buttons and rises up on the right over the knobs.

See http://wa5znu.org/log for the rendering of the vacuum mold.  (The 
part would be formed along the inner surface.)

Leigh.
