Plastic or metal are far superior.
I've heard this comment a number of time through out the years but have not experienced such a condition. My personal box is now 6 years old and my optics are no worse than normal. In my opinion Pluck Foam is far worse. To date I have made close to 300 cases and have never had any reports of dust or fibers. No more than normal use. Just thought I had to reply.
