Oh, to store a keyboard, not to build one in. Duh.
Yeah, I'd buy a 60% case.
Good evening all.
Ive been looking at keyboard case options, and have been in contact with an EVA case manufacturer. They offer cases for a wide range of products, and have 4 different sized cases for keyboards specifically. I wanted to see if there is enough interest in a EVA case. Their MOQ is 500 and the cases are customisable to an extent. I was thinking about doing an embossed/debossed geekhack logo, but that would depend on the IC. Their lead time is about 2 months, and the price before shipping should be under $20. I wont know for certain until after the design and everything is finalized. Im still early in talks with them, but figured might as well see what the community thinks before I waste any time.
Sizes offered:
L48xW20xH9.5CM >> I think this would be the best option since it will fit a TKL and maybe even 1800
L42xW20xH8.5CM
L41xW19xH8.5CM
L36.5xW16xH10.5CM
Good evening all.

Under $20? That would be nice!
I知 interested! TKL and 75% bags would be convenient!
Any chance a handle could be attached? Like the TX bags?

I'd for sure be in for a TKL, and/or 60% GeekHack case.
Were the cases in the picture below made by EVA? I've been trying to hunt one of them down for while.Show Image(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4202/34394677190_0f29159bf3_k.jpg)

I feel like I should point out EVA is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate not a company :P

Well ****. Now I just feel silly ;D
Are these soft cases, like neoprene, or hard? I couldn't really tell from the pictures.
Like, the foam?

Yeah afaik they do gas, but the ones i have had in the past werent bad. Not sure if they were older ones from the last OTD group buy or what, but I havent had any negative experience with these kinds of cases. They are fairly rigid, and with the larger size we could have foam in it to keep things secure.

Is this why the Mira case smells a bit funny? Kind of like a smokey metallic sort of smell?
I'd be interested in multiple, really solid price
I'd be down for a couple of these but reckon shipping to UK would prolly tip it too expensive. So, that's a total maybe from me.

No, the MIRA case smells like that because the cases were left open in a room where people smoke a lot.

If I can, I値l try and work out a proxy option. Not sure how logistics would work on that but I壇 give it a shot. I think we値l need all the help we can get in order to make an order so I知 not opposed to shipping proxies.

In that case I'll put my vote in for TKL and 65% cases, with pick n pull foam of the lumpy looking variety as found in Pelican cases (top of the stack in your foam pic). Also, if it's Geekhack themed then black with orange trim and/or zip might be nice. :thumb:
Checked with the manufacturer and they don稚 split up MOQ. So I plan to go with the larger size and smaller boards will just have extra padding :)
No way of running 2 sizes? /:
So we've kind of looked at the outside of the case (logo, etc.) How about inside? Things like netting for cables, elastic straps, integrated padding etc.?
As an example, this is how I would love to store and carry my TKLs.

I'm in for two TKLs. Would prefer minimal decoration/logo. Maybe a Velcro patch (like goruck bags) so people can customize?

So will you offer it in TKL or fullsize?The 48x20 is the largest case they offer. I知 sure they can do bigger but they would need new molds which probably be beyond this gb. Maybe something to consider for the future though.
For inspiration, the WhiteFox case that apparently shipped to Kickstarter backers looks pretty nice: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/7vdhqs/finally_i_waited_more_than_6_months_for_this_she/
There are more photos in the comments.
Would be in for one only if there is a foam option that fits 60% or 65% snugly. I have the aforementioned OTD EVA case and while it fits TKL's perfectly, 60% boards slide around in it. A big empty cavity is definitely not a one-size-fits-all.

A full cavity foam insert with pre-cut breakaway sections is a decent one-size-fits-all option
Just wanted to post a quick update on all of this. Manufacturer is on break for CNY. That coupled with communication issues, I want to reach out to US manufacturers and see what they can do with pricing etc. Ill update this thread with any news I get.
Any news on this?
Nothing new unfortunately. Have been busy with work and some other projects but havent forgotten about it. Just further down on my list at the moment. Should hopefully be getting some new information soon.
Is this dead? Seems superior to most other options available for keyboard transportation.
love the aesthetic of Rama's caseShow Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180328/11f30d96e4e85af3d0b57b44205bc643.jpg)
I致e pooped in a native Chinese speaker
FYI, since this thread looks like it's dead, there's a new IC that people here might be interested in: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96565.0
Looks kinda cool, but I'd much rather have a case like in the OP. Hope it still has a chance of happening.
Im not opposed to revisiting, but am pretty busy at the moment.
The initial problem that slowed this down, was communication with the manufacturer. I still have all the info and will let you all know if/when I revisit the case.
