I just came across this on ebay. The price is to high, however I find the protective foam interesting

Pretty easy to effectively shorten eBay links without even resorting to tinyURL. Just "whack" evevrything after itm/ except for the 12 digit item number. Everything in red here can go:

Leaving just this:

Thanks, I don't think I have ever seen one of those formed foam packaging covers before.

It looks like the foam may have reacted and adhered to the handset cord.
