Yeggster from the forums undertook the daunting task of taking apart an entire UX280 with a broken case, and putting it into a brand new case he found on ebay. Like a hermit crab changing it’s shell the UX280 now resides inside a brand new outer casing. Yeggster was searching for a few UX accessories […]
