Hinged, huh?
I have an acrylic cover for my Basis turntable, and I just lift if off and place it on the carpetted floor. I don't think I would want it hinged, as it is rather large and heavy. (Plus hinges break and/or get tweaked, so it is just one less thing to have problems with, IMHO.)
Actually, I really like that it not hinged, because when I place it on its side, on the floor, the top surface is about 18" off the ground, and I place my album cover and sleeve on top of it. Since I don't have a nearby table to place those things on, it comes in rather handy.
My two cents worth anyway.
