Carrying cases for 60% keyboards
« on: Thu, 13 February 2014, 14:18:21 »
Has anyone found a good, cheap carrying case for 60% keyboards? I already have a HHKB zippered case (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cases&pid=pdkb01sd), but I'm looking for a second, cheaper case. Perhaps something slimmer, too, but still sturdy enough to keep the keys from being mashed down while in a backpack.
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

I had a very nice custom-made carrying case for my noppoo choc mini. Unfortunately the company which tailored it for me has kind of disappeared. I have already searched for someone offering this kind of service, but with no luck so far.

I got my Poker case from a group buy ran by Techkeys a while back.  You could try to get another group buy together and see if Boilermaker would do another run.

If I recall correctly he said never again, but I could be mistaken.

here are what my cases from that GB look like

I had a friend make one for me very similar to those that were in the group buy. If you're not comfortable with a soft case though, some poker chip cases will fit a 60% very well and are relatively cheap.

Drum stick bags make great keyboard carrying cases.  There are some really nice ones out there.  Drummers enjoy much better economy of scale than computer keyboard enthusiasts too.
This bag should be perfect for carrying a 60% and a mouse http://www.monocreators.com/mono-shinjuku-stick-bag.asp.  Mono cases are excellent quality.  I use one for my large pedal board and it is the nicest bag I own.
 I carry my TKL and trackpad to and from work every day in a medium sized drum stick bag which has served me well for a few months now.

Wow...now I'm looking over at my mono bag and wondering why I never thought about that...Great idea!
