Hey guys, trigun0x2 here.
I'm partnering up with Retainerbox to create some custom made carrying cases anything smaller than TKL.
You can see some of the cases we made below:

We can add any amount of pockets or Velcro for holding cables/caps, etc.
All of these cases will be waterproof and you can choose if you can choose the material and closing method (zipper, draw string, para-cord, etc.)
The base price is planned to be $30 USD and increasing depending on the customization.
Let me know what you guys think and if there's any other customization options you would be interested in.

TL;DR
100% Handmade and custom soft cases.
$30 : Basic Case
+ $5 : Per pocket
+X : Zippers, Velcro, anything

I have one of these (in the most basic form)! They're really nice :)

I would be in for one, especially if I could choose custom sizes. I would like a smaller bag for my extra caps and stuff.

That's an interesting idea - having smaller bags, but with compartments or pockets that would let you hold different parts... Or maybe even a slightly transparent sort of material? Hmm.. I will definitely look into designing something for key caps specifically, as well as other materials. :)

How much would it cost to add a velcro to my front pocket? :D Wouldn't wanna lose any fancy cables while I'm at LANs.

Just an extra dollar for that :)

Ah I'll probably just order a new one later when you're ready to sell the final product.

The integral pocket is nice. And I like the idea for oddball or one off keyboards. Do you have any options in terms of the pattern of the fabric of fabric choice?

We wanted to see what the interest was like before purchasing samples/looking for fabric. If you give us an idea of even a colour scheme, we can look for something that works for you. Notice that Sifo's board matches the case colour :)

Would love this if the size can be customized
Need one for my ssk and full size board

Wow, I love the two fabrics in the OP, especially the second! <3
I would totally be up for one but I'll might to wait for more color samples if the first two are already that awesome... xD
Just to throw out some ideas for customization options, it would be sweet if the cord color could be selected. (for example white for the second color option <3)
Or if the part above (going in) the pocket, or the pocket itself could be selected as a different fabric for contrast. (resist the symmetry xD)
Also, idk if its remotely possible to do something like that, but either fully custom or a selection of label designs similar to the EK carrying cases (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cases&pid=pdkb01sd) would be amazing!
I think a 'label' thingy like this sticking out of the pocket would add to the looks, and how amazing would labeling which board lives in which case be?

Haha, we tried to find some nice onces. We'll definitely go back and look for some more prints and take photos and things to gauge interest.

All very possible, and very simple from the actual construction part. We could do this for sure. :)

We really, really like this idea. Trying to figure out a way to get it done.

Thx retainer! :)
I'm glad you like the ideas, and it would be absolutely amazing if the label thingy could be an option! :thumb:

How much for a Ducky Mini sized one? with an extra poket and maybe a little secret internal zip pocket for a small plastic cap puller
