How are you packing your grids/arcs/norns?

[mmml]

That’s perfect to run with, thanks @sbaio

[eblomquist]

I just ordered this, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for this! I was looking for some type of hard case for the norns and just ordered this one. Looks perfect.

[Molotov]

Not particularly padded, but seems the norns is a similar size to the RME babyface… fits nicely into the hardcase anyway!

[kuorinki]

Anyone have a nice recommendation of how to pack only Arc?

3800 Weatherproof Protective Case - Large - Black

Anyone have any experience with these lower cost pelican clones from Harbor Freight? I stumbled upon these while searching the web recently. Seems like a similar size to the Pelican 1400’s from what I can tell.

Norns fits tightly to these small pelican boxes. You will still need to use foam because of the depth. Some room left also for cable etc.

I have started the process of having a custom sleeve made for the current size Grid and Arc with SPECIALEE MADE. I’m hoping to have one sleeve made that has separate pockets for both controllers. She usually makes mechanical keyboard sleeves and they look great! I’m thinking something colorful. Will post back with info on the process/outcome…

…and it’s done!

I just got it today so I can’t say much about using it, but it sure is nice!

Just finished making this DIY Pelican imitation in a Mono Tick case. Cut the shape out of a block of foam that I got at Home Depot.

I currently use several 1700 cases like the one the ISIM kit comes in. I’m thinking of getting a medium case for my Norns, grid,arc, organelle, usb & power, a keyboard, my organelle, and maybe my keystep. Basically everything I might need without my modular stuff.

I was thinking about writing a small app that picks compatible pelican cases for a set of gear. Does that type of thing exist?

Though Pelican cases probably offer the best protection, they’re a little too bulky and even a little heavy. I was looking for a good case solution for Norns for when I wanna throw it in a backpack, and found a couple.

The Analog Cases OP-1 case, while a little long, is the perfect width. I’m using the extra length for charger and cable. Also the foam block that came with it serves as a good divider to keep Norns from sliding.

I’m a little ashamed to admit how many hours I spent scourging Amazon for various hard cases that Norns could fit in snuggly. But I finally found this Hermit Shell: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078V1M5PQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

The case is a little too tall, so I stuck one of the foam blocks from the OP-1 case (there were two) behind the mesh in the lid. Everything is snug.

I want to have some kind of case or sleeve for my grid that leaves the playing surface exposed. The idea being that I can handle and play the grid on uneven, rocky surfaces without worrying about scratching the enclosure.

Does anyone have something like this they are using with their grid? If so, how did you make it?

[Nick_Martin]

Has anyone tried with a Nintendo switch case? They’re roughly the same size as a grid.

These ones looks like they can hold the grids and the norns quite well:

[24Franks]

wondering if there is space under norns to hide power supply? probably not?

[Tyler]

There’s close to two inches of foam underneath it still. I don’t pack it that way, but perhaps it’s possible!

[Nick_Martin]

I made my own in the end. Never sown anything in my life:

[acajide]

Nice job man! Looks dope actually.

[Nick_Martin]

Thanks! I’m most satisfied with the little pocket for the little WiFi thingy

Searching the forum for “shield” and “case” hasn’t turned up the specific results I’m looking for since that “case” usually means the structural element that goes around the pi and Norns shield, not a carry case.

So this seemed like as good a place to ask as any: Has anyone found a nice carry case solution for a Norns shield? Perhaps there’s a GoPro case or external hard drive case that fits the dimensions well.

[cawlin]

I have found the AmazonBasics Gopro Cases to be pretty nice and minimal. They come in 3 sizes.

Here is a photo of the small version with a Norns in it. Check the x-small dimensions they might work for shield.

The cases come with pre-cut foam. I thought I would cut it all out and replace with a sheet of foam but found it fit snug by just chopping a few bits.
