Yes, so far the handle is on the top cover. It would be possible to change
the handle to the rear side but in this case you will have two (ugly )
rubber feet at the front. Though I don't like that it's also possible to
have the mains inlet and switch as a 8HP module inside the case (as for the
G6 suitcase version 1).
