* Project description

I felt that original NanoVNA case is too fragile for carrying this
thing around in the bag.

[[file:make, 2.png]]

Extra surrounding body adds better protection while exposing RF
connectors and buttons.

Also originally there is no housing for calibration and adapter
connectors.

Now there is also stylus / pincers help using touch screen and picking
connectors from the box.

Cover attaches to the body using [[https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00TACKU0O/][3mm x 2mm thick neodymium magnets]].
