Title: Tenkeyless keyboard bag
Post by: litster on Thu, 30 June 2011, 20:12:57

Any suggestion on purchasing a carrying bag or case that fits a Filco-sized tenkeyless keyboard?  Where can I buy one?  Thanks.

What's your budget?  EK has them for $50 and it fits all TKL (Filco, Leopold, Realforce, etc).

Do you want just a keyboard bag specifically or would laptop messenger bags (would be larger) fit the deal as well?
I got one of these - http://www.buy.com/prod/jansport-modus-small-messenger-computer-brief/q/loc/16234/201526488.html - for a laptop a few years back and it fits my Filco tenkeyless very well.  Anything around the same size (for 13" laptops) should fit a tenkeyless as well, I think.

Edit: Changed link on edit because it was linking to the wrong thing.

Thanks guys.  The EK one is nice.  Have you seen any hard cases that could fit?

Find a pelican with the right dimensions?

edit:  nevermind, pelican doesn't make those dimensions any more... They used to have stuff in that general size.  It's a shame.

Multi purpose? (http://www.northstarcases.com/detail-T6000+Hard+Pistol+Case.aspx) ;)
Nearest size? (http://www.plasticase.com/productdetails.asp?node=182&lang=en)  $23+ship

I'm just going by interior size, and those were the closest matches I've found

Thanks again!  The plasticase one would be perfect, height and depth would work, but it is too narrow to put a tenkeyless in.  Let me dig around the that site to see if there is anything a tad larger.

That's what I get for rounding to 14"  ;)

Model 612 should work; http://www.plasticase.com/productdetails.asp?node=185&country=

just a tad not enough to put 2 Filco tenkeyless keyboards.  But one would fit fine.  Let me study it some more.

I vote for the case from elitekeyboards. A lot better deal than the HHKB case... has a lot more pockets.

It does look nice.  ironman21, do you have one?  do you feel it have enough padding?

Yes. I think it has good padding. The front pocket is also big enough for my M570 and my Kindle

Maybe I will go with that.  I am not sure if I want to cut the foam in the hard case, and mess it up!

The only major problem I have with the bag is when I use it for my Realforce. Since I have the cable coming out the side, it either has to be bent awkwardly to fit in the case. Hopefully Realforce's lower gauge copper will prevent it from shorting out in the future
