Because there are things on the circuit board that needs to be seen through the "case". I suppose this could work for the bottom, as the new pcb could have the same screenprinting on it, but the top would work better clear.

Good thought that I hadn't considered though!

Why not just sandwich the PCB between two blank PCBs, presumably from the same supplier ?

I'm thinking about sandwiching a bare PCB between a top and bottom layer of polycarb for a barebones "caseless" case for a project I'm working on.  It's the size and shape of an "Altoids" tin.

Does anybody have recommendations for clear sheets cut with nicely rounded corners?

Thanks!
