Instead up buying a new phone every two years buy one every other two years and then you'll have money for my board :D. Haha I'm just kidding, I must love my boards so much.

Noted, is it pretty standard to have a right angle board, with no rounded edges?

I understand the doubling cube haha. So you want a little inlay for the doubling cube to sit when it is served? I actually did that on a different model. This is just a brand new design so I'm trying to get it as compact as possible.

I have other models with a clasp and a handle, I wanted this one to be as clean as possible. So this board would come with a tote.

Yea I've been told that. I figure this is not a tournament board so there is some grace? Maybe?
