| − | Some of these are a copy of requests in [[Wish List - Hardware#Casing]], some are from ideas thrown up in the community mailing list.

| − | ===Aesthetic===
| + | |
| − | * [[Removal of free space]]: there is unnecessary free space within the case - this variant would remove that, possibly with some re-arrangement of components, to make the phone slightly smaller.

| − | | + | |
| − | * Alternate screen: the current screen is a 2.8", 640 x 480 colour screen, which some may consider unnecessary and overly power-hungry. This case would allow a smaller, possibly monochrome screen to be fitted, saving battery time. Some may also wish to fit a larger screen - another case variant could allow for that.

| − | ===Other functionality addition===
| + | |
| − | * [[Ruggedized]]: a hermetically sealed case; watertight, and able to withstand a pre-defined drop on to a hard surface.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Stylus mount]]: there is nowhere on the phone to store a stylus when not in use.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Tamper-proof]]: this case would require special tools/processes to open it, or be completely impossible to open without physically damaging the case. May also be useful for a cheap hermetically sealed variant.

| − | ===Notes===
| + | |
| − | Some users may want combinations of the options listed above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | None of this can be accomplished without the dimensions of existing phones - if FIC are unable/unwilling to release precise dimensions, a user of a Neo1973 will need to measure their phone and upload the information to [[Neo1973 case schematics]] in the form of a CAD drawing/model.
