Which one is better? Are they about the same?
What I see:
Hard:
sturdy
Keys won't hit against other things in your bag (but may hit against the actual case)
Soft:
Flexible
Cheaper; easier to find
Board won't bounce against it (but may be smushed by backpack and whatnot)
A keyboard roof would solve for the bouncing issues for both setups
also how does everybody feel about using gun socks as soft cases? Biggest gripe I have about some cases is they spill little fibers everywhere on the board but it looks like gun socks are designed not to have those issues

If I was walking, I'd prefer a soft bag with a shoulder strap.
If driving, then a hard case you provide better protection.
When using a soft case, I'd probably wrap a tea towel around the keyboard so the keycaps weren't rubbing against the case all the time.

Any good place to get one with the shoulder strap? I don't really like the ones from Steelseries or razer. I would want one to be able to keep mouse and mousepad in the bag. So far I've only found the Korean one, but I have no idea if my mousepad would fit.

I have a TT bag. Its huge, fits everything, even a M-122 (just barely)

I like the hard ones because they offer some protection against bumps.

I don't really want a huge bag, but how much did that tt bag cost?

That sounds like my kind of price ;)
And that it would easily hold a standard Model M.
What is the actual name of the bag, the only ones I could find after a brief search was the Transporter Carry Bag (AU$58) or the Battle Dragon Bag (AU$98)?

Thanks for that. The Aussie store seems to have something slightly different:

And a much greater price (sale or not).

The one pacifist bought seems to be a lot better than what we have here though, rowdy.
Seems to cost 60$ + 16$ to ship to melbourne.

Beyerdynamic DT bag or shoe case with custom padding for the ErgoDox. Otherwise, I use thick stiff bubble wrap for my choc mini and just nothing for the TypeMatrix 2030, because it's durable enough with a skin.
I throw my keyboards like that in my backpack and then often run with it.
