Cases for NX73 yet?

[zaitch]

I'm after some kind of hard case to protect my all new NX73.

Is anything available yet, preferably in the UK?

I'm guessing the NX70 stuff is not compatible due to the size diffs.

I had one of these on my 770 which I liked a lot, anything
similar out there?

I haven't seen any hard cases I can say for sure are specifically for the NX73V (or NX80V) but I've been looking. Here's my current list of case sites/brands, updated as of this morning:

While waiting for my NX80V to arrive, I've been researching possible cases.
Here's what I've found so far (other than sony PEGA-CA92):

Some general comments:

1) The XIGMA case has a nifty adjustment feature to allow using the CF slot.
1a) However a review I read says some metal parts quickly come through the leather and
gouge the case.
2) I personally like the look of the Vaja and Covertec cases (in that order).
2a) Vaja says re: a NX80 case: "At present that model is not in our immediate manufacturing plans."
3) I'll never use a holster myself being 6'4" (1.93 meters) I'd be smashing the case against chairs every time I sat down.

The Krusell case for the NX70 is flawed. It uses a plastic restraining strap that covers two rows of the keyboard and also the retainer at the bottom is also clear plastic glued into place. A pity because the leather quality is good.

What a terrific post Mr Brad, thanks for listing those!

Good point shouldn't it be pasted into the sticky?

It's an evolving thing, just a few days old... I suppose I could go back and edit the post when there are changes, but then would it be flagged as a new post so people would notice it?

[celnix80]

here's the original thread for the NX80 case. since dimensions are same for the NX73.

Keep up the good work! :) I think cases are a frequent question and it's very valuable. Larry could add/edit to the sticky if necessary(?).
