I have both, and prefer the full wrist rest version. Aside from really tight tolerances around the sides, there's also the issue of not the stabiliser slots for the thumb buttons not being usable, as well as something funky about the directions of stab mounts too, though I remember bpiphany commenting that he made a boo boo on the pcb on this, which I assume was how the placement in the acrylic came around (although in actual practice, it can be used without stabs, so no biggie). There's also a few funky stuff that cropped up (which I believe was due to the manufacturing rather than your design, so that's irrelevant).
Overall, I really like the case design and it works.
Here's an idea that could be considered though - detachable wrist rests using a hybrid of the classic case and the full hand. What kurplop said earlier about extending layers gave me the idea (I have no idea how to use CAD, so pardon my doodling):
1. Start off with the classic case design.
2. Take layers 2,3,4 and extend the side where the wrist rest was supposed to be, by another inch or so. add screw spots.
3. recess the wrist rest's 2,3,4 layers by the same amount.
4. add screw spots. (the blue dots) - using the same bolt and nuts in the original design to hold it together.
Just a idea that came up suddenly, as adding that part there (the red area) shouldn't interfere too much with the way people are holding their hands when using the classic, but still gives them the option of attaching a rest if they want. Screw hole placements all around would have to be adjusted of course.
A question for those of you, who use acrylic plate from massdrop purchase.
Is it possible to disassemble a switch (to change spring or lube it) without un-soldering it first? If so, then what tools are required?
it's possible. just use a screwdriver or tweezers, or if you can get your hands on a pair, Beast's switch tools. It's designed for the ez open method.
