Wow.  I can imagine showing up somewhere with that thing and calmly opening it up before wordlessly setting up my HHKB and then typing away.

I'd never live it down.

That thing is enough to resurrect anyone's virginity.

I think I want it.

Do I lose my virginity after I buy it or after I receive it? Or is it after I am seen in public with it?

Highly recommended! I recently showed up to an interview with my HHKB discretely stowed away in this fine carrying case. When the interviewer asked for my portfolio, I nonchalantly whipped out my HHKB. The tricolor OG Click Clack I spent half my paycheck on caught his eye immediately. At that moment I knew I've had 'em -- didn't even had to pull out my portfolio (which didn't fit, so I didn't bother bringing it). Needless to say, I was hired on the spot. I stood up and made a 360 degree turn and walked out of his office.

I've gotten so much putenanny with the previous HHKB carrying case, that the only logical step in my poon-obtaining evolution was this case. And man, did it deliver. I mean, the amount of punanny that this thing gets me is insane. Do yourself a favor, and stay away from this case. It will kill a normal man who can't handle.

Wow! That's leet!

Do you really have this case, or was that just a story?

360 degree turn to leave?  That seams a little excessive.  But you have topre click clacks so excessive is expected.   :p

Here's a link to the maker's site. At 4680 Yen the $55 dollar EK price isn't too big of a markup. I'm not sure what "tax" and "shipping" costs are added though.

The question I have is IF I buy a HHKB and this bag from EK, will they pack them together so as to save shipping cost? That would make sense to purchase both from them!

just order everything on one go, and it will that. else, e-mail them before hand asking to bundle the shipping together.

On a related note, is there a good, durable case/bag that fits the HHKB? I have the Cosmos sleeve for Apple wireless keyboard and while it works okay, I'm looking for something better.

I don't use Tenso because I'm too lazy to read to read through all the terms and instructions, but I have emailed Smart Imports about stuff not on their website and I am pretty sure they will send you anything if you provide them with the proper information.  Less hassle than Tenso for a slight price premium.

Thanks, though, that link got me excited.
