Nothing to report, just what I needed, not expensive, fast delivery, easy to use, 10/10 for me.

Initial assembly is easy (just be careful to unlock the hard drive).
There are some bonus screws and bolts, and given the small size of the hardware, that's reassuring.
In this case, everything is screwed down, nothing moves. Accepts 7mm and 9mm HDDs, and 2.5" Sata SSDs. Easy assembly in a few minutes. Under linux the little button is well detected, in this case when you plug in the drive, it is in RO.
Nothing to complain about. When I need a case, I'll buy this model again.
Bought to replace the case of a Samsung M3 4Tb whose HDD is a Seagate Laptop with double the thickness of a classic disk.
Difficult to find a suitable replacement case, but the IB-241WP is perfect, it fits without problems and the product looks robust. I recommend it!
Perfect!
It works great, everything is held together by screws, so it's very solid and it protects the hard drive well from shocks. It doesn't shake inside and the metal casing gives a good hold. What's more, there are 2 extra screws in case you lose one. The LED shows the information of the drive but is still discreet and the USB A to micro USB 3.0 cable is standardised and of very good quality, it's nice to see that. The packaging is also great, the stand is well maintained in the box and the electronic board looks good.
The only negative point (to quibble): A USB C cable would have rejuvenated it, especially considering that we rarely have 2 sets of micro USB 3.0 cables.
And be careful not to forget to partition and format a new hard drive (or SSD), otherwise it won't appear and it won't be because of the product.
In short I advise this box.
I've put in an old HDD recovery drive and have been using it for backups for years, it works perfectly.
Great and as described.
A box that works great.
I recommend this product ++++.
This case is very well designed, between the sliding covers, the usb3 connectivity, the possible read-only locking... Even the clumsy will feel taken care of: each type of screw includes one more than necessary, in case the dirty beast slips out of your hands and disappears (considering their size, it can happen). Good interface, very good read/write speed (depending on the disk used), in short a quality/price ratio hard to beat!
Purchased along with a Seagate BarraCuda Pro 1TB (ST1000LM049) as an external hard drive for friends.
No worries.
There are even extra screws just in case...
The only small negative point I can say is about the connectivity on the case.
It's not very common, so if you lose the cable, there's not much chance of getting another one like it at home. :/
And in 2018 USB-C would have been nice.
The cable is 30cm long which is very short... but it can be enough for many uses.
The pluses:
The product is aesthetically pleasing. You will need small screwdrivers for the screws.
Note the elegance of the manufacturer since it provides an extra screw, per type of screw.
Recognition under Linux (Ubuntu) impeccable.
The minuses:
Denounce me the giftee who delivers the cases with the security set to locked!!! As I am not, gifted, I looked for a while why my disk refused to let itself be partitioned. :)
The usb cable: the length is ridiculous (30cm). It's up to you to see if it's enough.
It's a good product, I bought another one...
An easy to use box, the small security for single read access is a "plus" that I appreciate. It avoids having "dirt" depending on who you lend your hard drive to...
I would recommend this product without reservation.
