Excellent, but second choice
October 17th 2024 Verified user
This is not a full aluminum case, but this Mercury On-the-go Pro is impact-resistant acrylic and comes with a very good USB Cable. The screws to attach the side with the connectors are very small and fiddly. You have to be very careful with it.
Second choice, because it is not full aluminum enclosure. Get one, before it
is not longer avaiable 4.5 out of 5. -- Bernd
