I'm thinking of making material for a case by laminating a sheet of aluminium to a sheet of 1/2" plywood. Would this give me the same protection from RF interference as a metal case?
Check this thread. Mu-metal is abest material for shielding, and at the offered price it is almost a steal.😉

As near as I remember from my 'waves and fields' EE class, where we actually worked the math, I don't think it matters as long as it's a conductor, and it completly coveres the object. "Covers" means no openings smaller than the wavelength you want to contain.
The reason microwave ovens have holes in the screen, is that the microwaves can't get through, but light can.
That's how I remember which way wavelength goes - light is a higher frequency (MUCH!) than the microwaves; you can see through, but the microwaves can't.
Wouldn't mind someone else commenting though.

Mumetal is best used for magnetic sheilding.
Any conductive material can be assembled into an effective Faraday cage.
Blunt eh?
