Need to design a case that can hold our components and protects them from the environment.

Points to consider:

need to make about 20 units
can't be metal (Faraday cage)
protect components from dust and water
need to be able to plug in an external power source
securely attach to a motorbike
it is ok that removing the SD card means disassembling the case -> needs to be re-openable/-closeable

One idea could be to use a bit of plastic tube or abwasserrohr. Available in a lot of places, water proof, non metallic, etc.

Questions:

how to cap the ends in a reversible manner
what to fill the inside volume with to keep things in place styrofoam peanuts? heat?
