      I have just received 2 pycom universal ip67 cases and they do look good.
      there are 2 things i do have issues with and i'm just providing it as feedback.

      1. There are no included screws for mounting the pysense, pytrack or expansion boards.
        I now need to try to find the correct screws to fix board to case.
        So far I haven't found any details on the correct size I should use

      2. The usage of the punch out holes is not overly obvious and with lack of any documentation i'm curious about their purpose.
        There are a number of punch out holes, some are obviously for antenna but others are not so obvious.
        The rectangular punch out I assume is for USB but not sure what to use here that will maintain IP67 rating

      Could we get some more information regarding this case?

        I too am curious about the screw size. The holes are a lot smaller than I was expecting.

          @dbrosy @shaunix I got a set of "DIN 7981" steel screws with dimensions 2.9 mm * 9.5 mm. They worked perfectly to mount the Expansion Board v3.1 to the Universal IP67 case.

            @kodarn thanks for the info. I ended up not using the case as it wasn't very practical.
            I may come back to it later or just use something else but good to know what screws work

              @dbrosy did you find out how to use the push in holes? I don't know how to open them...

                  @dbrosy Yes, the LoRa antenna. It seems so hard to be just pushed. Thanks anyway.
