Hey Patrick! Well, the reason I took it off was because the adhesive on the sticker and the texture of the plastic casing were not a comfortable fit for me. The sticker comes off very easily and I didn't feel it would be a good contact surface for holding down my investment.

See, I was going to use servo tape on the bottom of the MMM casing to the CF tray I built. And when I investigated the sticker that wrapped the bottom of the casing it wasn't a really firm adhesive. A bond is only as good as the surface it's applied to, and it just wasn't comfortable for me.

Hmm, that's not good... those labels should bond REALLY well to the polycarbonite case. I'll have production check to make sure there isn't any release agent on the cases we have in stock.

Yeah, I peeled mine off very easily and it left no adhesive on the plastic. Wasn't strong at all. Otherwise I would have no problem keeping it on there. I was worried that in warm weather it would get even worse. Anyway, thanks for being accessible here Patrick!
