I'm looking for a bag to use to store my keyboard when I'm carrying it around with me.

Please post up any ingenious ways or cases you've found that work great for storing your keyboard!

The keyboards I have are HHKB2Pro, and KBTPure. So that's about 11.6 x 4 x 1.5 in/ 29.5 x 3.8 x 10.2 cm.

Here's what I think about it. Just like with a new car, you worry excessively about it until you get that first scratch, and you will get it sooner or later, so what's the point. If you want to keep the keyboard in mint condition, the only way is to put it in its box and never touch it. If you want to use it, then use it and don't mind the inevitable, mild, normal wear.

No...but I might if I could get one that fit it perfectly. Less to protect it from that one fateful scratch, but to protect it from the other shit in my bag.

I agree 100% with you.

I never carry a keyboard around except in a box when bringing it to the post office or to Ascaii ;-)
But if I did on a regular basis, I would definitely stitch a fitting cotton bag.
So my answer is a conditional yes.

I'm looking for more of a slip-on bag.

I was using this for a while until I lost it. It came with my PSU.

Just made myself some days ago a bag. Material was a towel and a salvaged zipper from an old backpack. There are two layers of the towel towards the outside.
It also doubles as wrist-rest :).
