Title: Keyboard Sleeves/Bags
Post by: slushi on Fri, 09 October 2015, 16:21:58: Hello everyone!

First off I just want to say hi to the community. It seems like everyone is pretty helpful and kind. Excited to learn more and eventually contribute here!

Secondly, I was wondering if there was a good place to get a custom keyboard sleeve made. I have PM'd some folks on reddit but haven't gotten any response yet. I have my first custom coming (a b.mini from winkeyless) and was looking for a snug fit sleeve. From the dimensions it looks like I would need to size up to the TKL sleeves if I were to grab one from 1up. However, I'd rather not have my board sliding around in the sleeve and would prefer it to be a snug fit.

Anyone got any advice? I did some quick searching but didn't see too much. I apologize if there is already some resources out there for this.

Thanks in advance!

Man I should consider that. I usually wrapped up fragile stuff with my used pyjamas.

If you're not using Frette (http://www.frette.com/bath/towels.html) towels, you are doing it wrong.

OP, check in the Artisan subforum. There are all kinds of talented geekhackers that make stuff by request. :)

Yeah, the artisan thread is a good place to check. Also, if I recall, there was an Interest Check about some keyboard cases, so you might be able to PM him about it, and get one made for yourself.
