Couple of case ideas for hhkb pro case
dbfj:
I wanted something to store my hhkb, so I put this case together as a prototype using MDF, canvas and some salvaged foam. The photos distort the angles a bit. Planning on doing a more finished version week after next. Also planning to put together a soft shell version in the near future.
cactux:
What is the max weight that you have in mind for this case?
dbfj:
Here's a plastic case I picked up at this afternoon and stuffed with some foam (might add a vacuum mold). I was surprised how well it fit. $3.99 at Hobby Lobby.

I'm assuming you're referring to the weight of the case, not the load-bearing capacity. I didn't think that far in advance - it's 1/4 mdf. Before I wrapped it in canvas, I rubber coated it, so it has some additional weight on top of that. I expected it to be heavier than it is - the plan for the softer shell version will be much lighter.

^ That is correct the max total weight of the case itself. IMO that plus the level of protection are very important, if this case targets the road warriors.
