Many digital caliper cases have an elliptical recess at the bottom
right. In all the pictures I've seen, bar one, and my own case, this is
empty. The only non=empty one has a small screwdriver in it, which
doesn't appear to be the right item.

What's it for?


Somewhere to keep spare batteries?

As I said, the recess is elliptical, like this one:

In that case, I would think that the purpose of the elliptical recess
and the recesses along the hinge edge is to add rigidity to the vacuum
formed plastic.
