The case isn't just there for looks, it's a shroud to protect the H-bridge, and from what I've heard, it works pretty well, it keeps aluminum shavings and dust out. I have a dead Victor next to my computer right now, and it's really easy to see what a big deal that tiny consideration can be, HALF of the MOSFETs are charred white and actually blown out, just from a short caused by an aluminum shaving that got away from our protective towel. I'd say the case is worth it, and especially when we get the CAN interface green light, these Jaguars are going to be SO nice. Bottom line, if they're too big for you, and you've got enough money to buy a bunch of Victors, you don't have to use the Jaguar.
