The case manufacturer needs this area for the rivets required for the
corners resp. ball corners. The rails have to be mounted with the M5 scews
cannot be used for the mounting of the case corners. We would have prefered
a smaller version of the suitcase without the additional top/bottom space
but the manufacturer said that this is not possible.

We covered the brown wood with the black foil (with "A-100 Analog Modular
System" in white letters) as we prefered this compared with the wood. But
you can simply remove the adhesive foil. Many customers ask for Doepfer
stickers and labels. Maybe you can sell them :-)
