question about an external WD hard drive enclosure

I have one of these enclosures, and it's not too sturdy. The plastic "bead" that runs the perimeter of the enclosure helps seal the case. The one I have has suffered 1 drop from 2 feet, and that plastic has popped off. The enclosure is also cracked. Another thing buggy about it is the power adapter. I think that it likes to pop out at the slightest touch. There is no "click-in" feel at all. It is loosely inserted into the plug. Passive cooling keep this thing pretty warm, but nothing it can't handle. If you are in need, take it. Fry's had stainless USB 2.0 enclosure free AR.
 
I have one of these, except that it's the special edition clear with neon. It's an okay case, but I think $30 is a little high. For not much more, you could get a case that's easier to open up.
