Also, I suspect that a cover plate was initially designed which is missing (but of course I really don't know).

Ah... ok... I'm thinking of the wrong case then... I'm thinking of the ABS enclosure, not the Playbox (which is one pictured in that thread). Thanks for that Marcus.

It looks like the ABS enclosure suffers from the same problem though... as the fifth picture down in the kickstarter update linked in that other thread (which is of the ABS case) also shows a cutout on the end. So unless the end has the reciprocal bit to fill the gap, it looks like even that case is a bit wonky... as from what you can see of the photo, the base has the cutout also.

I had a look at the STL files since they were linked that update, and it looks like they decided to simply use a block cutout, as there's also no provision at all for an piece to fill the gap, as there's no anchor points for it. Strange too, as they had to modify the plastic lip on the lid of the playbox to make way for the height of the USB ports..., and there's a place-holder for the pine64 in the model, so it was a deliberate design choice... wonder if they just took the easy way out, or were thinking along the lines of not sealing it completely to allow for at least *some* limited airflow?
