I am using the Eddystone (by Hammond) cases which are produced in UK and are cheaper than the Hammond-types. RS-Components should have them for a reasonable price, otherwise you can order them at banzaieffects.

Maplins have the Eddystone range and are a good price because of the free shipping over £35 also Rapid have I think both Hammond and Eddystone, pretty sure Farnell do as well.

What sort of quality are the Eddystone boxes from Maplin compared to the Hammonds? Do they sand up nicely?

Yup, pretty decent.

And the Maplin on Gloucester Road seems to always have the 2 sizes you'd want

Well, Weston but near enough.

(For non South-West UK residents, Weston-Super-Mare is to Bristol what Malibu is to Los Angeles

)

I work in the centre of Briz though, just about opposite the new 'Cabot Circus'.

So I can scamper up to Maplin on my lunch break if I'm really desperate for a component or something...

...only if I'm convinced that I can get the staff to understand what I want within the time-window I've got though
