This is a great case to protect your 60% keyboard on a budget. It's made from a thick neoprene material, similar to a laptop sleeve. Fits my HHKB quite nicely.

The case. Only packaging was plastic wrap.

HHKB seems to fit!

All the way in.

Case closed. The flap doesn't stay down though, I wish there was velcro.

Has a nice pocket for the cable too.

Overall a very nice product that does it's job. I see no durability issues with the case and everything seems to be firmly stitched in place. Definitely worth purchasing for $17 if you're looking for a case to protect your 60%.

since the HHKB just fits, I imagine the FC660C won't, right?

I couldn't find one. This sleeve was originally meant for a Apple wireless keyboard which is why they are readily available as there is a demand for them. There really isn't any consumer demand for a full sized keyboard case so they aren't made.

VesperSaint and I were discussing this. I don't think this case will fit but there is another one on Amazon made by the same company that appears to be slightly longer. Not sure if it will fit but it might be worth a try.

Ugh~ this case is absolutely awesome! I wish it fit the 660C from the looks of it, according to Amazon, those 2 are 11.5' long and the 660C is 13' long :(

We must find a carrying case for the 660C! I'm going to need one soon, otherwise I'm going to have to carry this thing in the box it came with and then in another bag :))

Hey Racoon, got a picture showing how snug the keyboard is inside of the case?

Im curious if the keys are pressed on when placed inside the case... Or is there enough room that they remain unpressed?

There is some space inside the case, it's not super tight or anything. The only key that might be pressed is the Esc key if you really jam it in there.

Yeah, I am looking for something like that too. There must be something out there meant for something else but suitable for transporting a TKL keyboard ;)

Anyone but me suckered into the thread thinking that it would be about a keyboard enclosure that I can drop a GH60 PCB into? ;)

Sadly yes, and I'd already looked at the thread once before.  ::)
