That might actually be the same original chassis or from the same manufacturer.  Saying "hey, what do you have that's this size?" is cheaper than "hey, design us a brand new custom case that's this size"

For reference, in case people haven't seen it, this is a (CGI rendering apparently) pic of the Jalapeno and the similar device below it:

Despite Apples claims of inventing the curved corner, these exact boxes have been available in varying dimensions at electronics hobbyists stores at least since the 1960s.
