Attach lid only to the base, and not the lock #18

I pulled out my DiceKeys and started using them, but I wasn't ready to permanently lock in my key. I worried that when I put the items back into the bag one of the kids would squish the bag and accidentally lock it.

While I'm totally in support of #7 as long-term way to keep my DiceKeys from being locked (possibly for an additional fee), I still think that if the lid itself was connected only to the base where you roll the dice then that would be sufficient to avoid accidental locking in the bag. I've found that placing the lid between the dice and the lock is the safest way I can see to ensure they're safe until locked, but changing the hinge would feel better to me.

The lid doesn't even need to permanently attach to the base, even. It'd be nice, but if that's hard to manufacture then even the way the lid is currently attached to the lock portion for shipment isn't terrible since it doesn't immediately disconnect. I expect to put mine on a shelf or in a drawer if I lock them. The lid is more of a liquid spill or scuff protection than a security feature.

I'd use a non-locking setup as in #7 to keep my DiceKeys permanently unlocked.
