Hi Pete!
Will the I40_ui-Board fit the chinese case?
The outer dimensions of the I40-ui are the same like the ui_V04 - V06 from Chris, BUT :
- the cutout for the Display is much larger (could filed bigger)
- the positions of the tune encoder and the step- button have moved a little bit (no problem)
- there are 2 new elements on the ui-board (no problem with a little bit drilling)
- due to the bigger display cutout the F1 - F5 buttons have been moved downwards (that is the problem, the rubber buttons of the chinese case will not fit any longer)
- the 3,2" or the 3,5" display is a little bit thicker than the 2,8" display (perhaps manageable with direct soldering the display an the board -brrr)
On the attached picture i have put the chinese front cover over the I40_V1.7_ui board. I hope, you can see the problem with F1 - F5.

Thank you for the information on the case.
I have been following the discussions and progress of the UI OVI40 board and realized the current Chinese case top cover would not fit the new 3.5" display nor any button re-positioning. That is why I asked the question.
It seems there is the possibility of a re-designed top cover to allow for the changes and to fit the existing Chinese case. However, that may not be productive depending on the OVI40 development roadmap.
It is hard to be patient but I will try.  In the meantime I may order the new UI board to play with my existing mcHF but without using the cover.
Thanks,
Pete WK8S
