                        That's a photo of the newer cases. Older cases from the 1980s-2000+ were flatter and wider than the newer cases. Here's a shot of some newer cases on top of some older cases.

                        Rob: Thx for the pic. I'm really looking for the older style (10in1?) Box size, like you posted. Any idea on the measurements?
