Sure they're plastic and sort of cheap, but the 9v battery slot is built in and you could just coat the inside with aluminum foil.  (that's not a 2 AA battery slot, is it?)

Wooden enclosures rock!  Particularly moog style.

What's "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'z" mean?

My best one looking box is Wood IMO.
 I say you can make a metal box fancy and sharp as can be and it still won't look like wood...lol...Of course my metal boxes arent all fancy and sharp either so...
 Making a wood box look great isn't that hard   if you have the tools, which I actually don't.
 Actually I think I could do pretty good starting with the right depth wood stock and a power miter saw, and belt sander, and a router, and lol..a table saw with dado...etc

I think he means to say that 9v batteries won't fit.

yep, sadly looks like 2xAA.... though a 9V could fit, you'd just have to rig up the connector...

I still haven't got round to buying any of these, but there's some nice looking (and cheap!) wood enclosures here:
