The BEST looking external cases have to be the Vantec Nexstar 3 series - I have 2 of their 3.5" cases - pretty expensive but they are very well made and have a GREAT look.... here is the 2.5" Vantec Nexstar 3 case.....

the Cons are also mentioned on that page

***Below average performance, consequently expensive, unnecessary inner design needs four screws inside in addition to the two screws outside
SO I still wonder whats the use of gud looking? if it cannot perform well.

I have both the silver color & the black color, though I later realized that most of the time they remain in their pouch cases only so the color don't show.
