I seriously doubt someone (at this point) would make up a new case with a
laser system. Making molds to create just a few cases the old fashioned
way would also be extremely costly, so I don't think we have to worry
about it just yet. Maybe in another 5-10 years though...

Clear cases are usually made just prior to any
texture being added to
the production molds. Usually they are used for engineering purposes
(making sure it all fits), but sometimes they will also use those
cases for demo/promotional purposes too.
Just a thought....
Is there any *other* way to tell that this is an original? What if
somebody went and made a new clear plastic case and replaced a normal
case? How much does a normal cased HP-85 go for?
The 3D printers out there are getting cheaper... (relatively!)
