I'm sure Patrick could answer this better, but in case he doesn't see your question....
I really believe they are just protecting themselves by reserving the right to refuse warranty service to those who open the case. Mainly for those who do damage to the ESC while prying the case open. The big concern, IIRC, was people opening the case to do "improvement mods" that were actually unnecessary...and in opening the case, they were jamming screwdrivers and other crap into the case to pry it open thus causing damage to the main board in the process. I believe they still honored the warranty(very nice of them), but were probably getting tired of doing so....and decided to send out a friendly "warning" letter to prevent future mishaps. If you didnt damage the internals by opening the case, you will probably still be under warranty w/o issue. Any other company would probably look for any excuse to shut you out...but In my experiance, Castle will have your back.
Thats why I just bought my 6th ESC from them
