Matrix Agent "Bug Case"

Okay...here's what I think it is:

The metal faces surrounding the calendar and the photo are thin chrome metal bezels that pops off.  You can then change photographs and the calendar's month.  The one linked above has a different hinge than mine and bezel appears to cover a wider area than mine like the movie version would (closer to the sides).

The reason this thing has never been found, IMO, is because people are looking for aluminum clocks, calculators, business card holders and cigarette cases.  You aren't going to find a chrome desk calendar/photo holder on the net using the keywords people have been googling for...if this is what it is.  And I do think that this is what was used. I'm going to assume that as with everything really shiny in movies, it was sprayed down with duller so as to not create havoc with the lights and refelections.

Let me know if anyone has any success finding the right one.  I don't have much time to search myself right now.  Maybe this will put someone on the right track.

Well, I've spent the last month or so looking for something similar using your modified version of search phrases... No luck yet.  The one that yhou posted doesn't have the correct side profile.  Also, it appears from the caps on the first page that the two sides may not be identical further complicating the search.  Still looking...

I was thinking the case looks like something you get at Home Depot that holds drill bits.
