The enclosures are injection moulded, so should be pretty accurate on tolerances. Is it affecting the ability to close the case for you? Or just a slight bulge?

Yeah, the padded envelope is not amazing. It offers protection, but the glue can get everywhere. At least it is easy to remove.

For future production runs, we’re thinking of switching to a cut-out foam box like this. It costs a little bit more, but seems a much better solution.
