In my opinion, said grown ups shouldn't be allowed to do things they 
haven't demonstrated an ability to handle :)

Technically, the cases aren't square or you could put them in sideways. :-)

There's nothing wrong with a box form. UDO, IMO, is the right idea.

Another major advantage of a protective casing is the ability to have two
