The fasica is two-colour reverse screen printed on flexible clear plastic with a self-adhesive backing applied onto the print side. This means the User can't scratch the print. Any local Screen Printer worthy of the name can handle that with ease.
So that was a production one rather than a protoype.

The fasica fits over an Aluminium (or mild steel) plate which in turn drops into the 4xRJ45 module aperture. This plate has all the cut-outs for the LCD, Switches, LED etc and contains integral threaded pillars onto which the PCB secures from the other side. Again, the manufacture of this plate wouldn't tax the talents of any sheet-metal basher.

If anyone is unclear from the description, I'll pull one out and photograph it if there's any interest.
Description is perfect but photos are always nice
