   Maybe there's someone out there with the know-how to make blank
cases based on the published OM designs? I'd guess it's a matter of
making suitable injection-moulded components -- front and back -- and
then either ringing the changes with the plastic colour used, or just
selling white ones that can then be painted and lacquered.  I have no
idea of the economics of injection moulding, though.
