    The CF-18 I got from Australia doesn't have the proper cover, instead it has a modem cover which doesn't completely cover it. I'm not sure how much protection it gives so I better replace it with a proper one. Anyone have one? No specific price limit as long as it's not something stupid like £50.

    I know they can be had, if you dont see one I can see if I have my mold for it and turn out another one made of plasic and latex ( or I can tell you how to build one )

    Argh! I found one on eBay US but the seller only ships to the US and Canada: http://cgi.ebay.com/Panasonic-Toughbook-CF-18-AC-DC-IN-Cover-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ260368201800QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item260368201800&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A2|294%3A50

    The seller is definite about the shipping so I doubt I'd get them to budge and deliver to Blighty.

    *bump*

    The plastic is starting to wear on it and I think it could drop off quite soon. Really need one now!

    Matthew,
    If you are willing to trust me, I would be happy to ship it for you. You can put the money in my Paypal account and I will purchase/ship for you. Just make sure there is enough to cover the postage to the UK. I have been in this forum for awhile and have over 650+ feedbacks on eBay (foxcontrol). No extra charge, maybe you can help me out in the future. (A date with Gemma Atkinson would suffice quite nicely!)

    There may be lots of snow on my roof, but there's an IED down below that is primed to go off if the trigger is pulled!
