      5.0 Unihedron SQM housing

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Super product that keeps the SQM dry and clean. The housing has a reasonably tight grommet at the bottom for a USB cable. I added a piece of tape around the circumference in order to make the top cover fit a little more snugly.

      3.0 Great but expensive

      Pros:

      Lightweight,Easy to Use,Strong Construction

      Cons:

      Comments:

      This unit has done a wonderful job of protecting my SQM-LU from all sorts of Colordo weather but is over priced for its components. I'm a clutz but I think I could have cut some pipe, glued on a cap and window and drilled a hole for a lot less. Still, if you don't want the hassle it really does what it is supposed to do and does it well.
