Great cheap case that fits the PO perfectly, with a handy pocket for headphones/cables/extra batteries etc. Case itself has some structural reinforcement - not exactly a hard plastic case but not a soft case, either. Overall, I feel pretty comfortable throwing this in my bag or jamming it in my pocket without worrying about damaging the PO. Made a slight modification by slicing the elastic band with an x-acto knife, this was just so the knobs could poke through and I wouldn’t have to stretch the elastic above or below them. I seriously doubt that would even cause an issue but I’m just paranoid like that.
If you own a PO and you have $7 to spare, you should own this case.
Hard drive cases are nice and cheap, although slightly technical looking.
I use the Amazon Basics HDD case along with a a cheap bulk microfiber sunglasses pouch.
they fit:
MGB
GBC
AGB
GBASP
GBMicro
DSlite
i haven't tried anything else.
Here's an album showing what it's like
You also dont have to use the strap. there's some wiggle room on the SP so I use it there.
Edit:formatting
Well I haven't found the perfect case off amazon yet but I ordered a few and can say that this case is too small - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F5CKWBA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and this case is too big - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SFRMKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use one of these external HDD cases by Amazon Basics. It's not made to be smell proof, but it does a surprisingly good job, and was cheap.
Here's a picture

Pelican 1120 Case With Foam (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051QIBUE
I have used both. The HD case is great for portability, the Pelican for smell protection.

A little different. I checked my Amazon and it was this one.

I bought one of these. It holds my pax with room for a lighter, poker, papers, ect.
Just pick up some of these cases on Amazon.
They used to be $4.99 but they recently raised the price

Looks like they make slightly smaller one that's still $4.99 but according to the dimensions it won't fit.
I have this and one of these. Or there is a bigger version that might be better for mechs with toppers.
I would search 'external hard drive carry case'

I actually use the same one for my passport external hard drive. Then noticed the dimensions are perfect for my hana modz box, so I got another. Very cheap, and ships amazon prime.
Cool idea. I haven't seen those before.
Consider a hard drive case for a little added protection.
I'm throwing in another option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F5CKWBA/
Half the price, and has a review which says "Perfect fit for my retroflag GPI case. Holds the USB cable as well extra batteries."
Ordering now, will update once received.
to be fair, the amazon essentials one fits Perfectly without the stand - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F5CKWBA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does this one fit a 3.5" HDD? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F5CKWBA/ref=twister_B00HEEOQBO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Even regular HDDs aren't that sensitive to drops so long as they're not being used. You mainly have to worry about not breaking off the controller where the connectors are and not dropping in the water. Otherwise, they can take some abuse including moving around while being used - unlike HDDs. Grab any external drive case and use it to carry the adapter and 2-4 drives.

It is a little big but it works. I ordered a different one from Ali express. If it is great I will post it here.
I wonder if something like this would work

edit: Looking at the depth i don't think it'd close...
I have one of these, and it fits Mighty, CFX, CF Hybrid, FF2 with spare battery.

Stick the CF in a ziplock and you're good to go.
