Default Is There a Good Carrying Case for Virus TI Polar?

Hi,

Does anybody know of a good carrying case for the TI Polar? If so, please let me know where you got it from and how much you paid. I'd like a hard shell case ideally.

I'd love to get a nice solid SKB, but they don't make keyboard cases for three-octave keyboards unfortunately. I did email customer service at SKB asking for help, and they suggested one of their generic cases and some foam padding blocks, but it seems clunkier than a regular purpose-built keyboard case. I'm posting the links below in case anybody is interested.

Generic Case

Foam Inserts

SKB also does custom cases, but there is a minimum order quantity of 250... bummer.

Thanks, that looks like a great case.

I found the SKB case online for $109.99, and I emailed the guys at http://www.foambymail.com for a quote for the foam inserts. Depending on how things shake out I could see myself going with either case.

I really like the SKB cases since the roto-molding results in really solid frames. How's the construction on the THON case that you bought?

the quality of manufacture is exceptional , too solid , it's a heavy product with durable materials , and a comfortable leather handle .
inside the case , polar applies perfect , really very constant case .

Well, after a lot of soul-searching, I decided to go with a totally different option altogether: an SKB mil-spec case. Not only are these things absolutely indestructible and water-proof, but the extra six inches of internal space I will get will allow me to pack my headphones, power and USB cable, and maybe even a foot pedal in with the TI Polar. This one also has a handle and wheels which will come in handy I am sure.

They are a little pricey (the cheapest one I found was $259.99) but seem to be around the same price as the other options I looked at.

Im looking at getting a case for my TI Polar as well - can you tell me how your experience went with the SKB case in regards to including extra cables and gear etc as well as customer service/postage times etc? I would need to get the case posted to Aus so having it all fit nicely is a must.

I have an Indigo I which if I recall is the same size as the Polar. No need for a hardshell case for me since I take mine locally.

I picked up a mixer bag for Crate mixers on eBay for about 20-30 bucks. The fellow who sold it is still selling them. I think that I bought the 23x26 model.

As a soft case for my Indigo it's perfect: nice padding, snug and room left over for cables and my desktop Evolver.

If I was going to do any real travelling, I'd go to Gator cases and size up the appropriate mixer case from them.

If you look hard enough there are plenty of choices. Now a MonoEvolver Keyboard, that's a challenge.

On that note, I found something useable for my MEK by this company. They have some good deals on ATA classes cases for all sorts of odd sizes: http://www.casesbysource.com/
