[NTLK] Remove the sticky skin of a 2000

[Florian Voigt]

I‘d buy a custom colored case. That‘d be clear one for me.

On a related matter: does anyone have a leftover case in decent shape? Maybe a known dead Newton 2000/2100? 
One of my green friends lives in a case that the previous owner sanded by the looks of it. Still green, but pretty ugly.

Cheers,
Florian

If we could only find that person and make some new cases in whatever colors. I don’t think there’s a better solution. The original cases’ plastics are denaturing or separating.
