Hand Held Enclosures

Hand held enclosures are protective cases for controllers and electronic instruments. They are used for simple mobile controls as well as more heavy-duty electronic devices. The shapes are modern and ergonomic, making them very practical and comfortable to hold. They are typically made from aluminium, and come in a variety of different lengths to suit a wide range of PCBs and other assemblies.
