Anyone knows where to get the rubber strip shown in the attached picture?

Is it an UV rubber strip? I don't want a normal black strip.

If you're just starting, get something cheap (...and expendable

).
Start with small mods & work your way up. Try not to make this case your main casing. Just use it for modding "experiments".

like he said...try only...not necessarily mean u have to get another case to use

but for first timer/noob or any other categories alike,DO NOT mod on expensive case.
anyway...PLAN well b4 u start.start with simple mods.good luck!

I started out my first ever modifications on my old beige case that came with the system I bought. I knew if I messed up I wouldn't have to pay through my nose. Same goes for everyone. Start on more expensive items the better your skills are

Practice always makes perfect especially in this hobby.

EDIT: I think that piece of rubber in your picture is just transparent/ slightly translucent rubber Snoy. It jusy so happens to light up under UV, just like white plastic cable-ties.

For case mod always prepare filing tools such as rounded file, flat file, semi-circle file. and tiny file to work on edges

im sure these are the cheapest mod tool around

I hope you mean a door that is not in use...

Cos if you defaced public property for personal benefit, I find this attitude sickening.

Why can't Malaysians regard public property with respect?
