Van Nuys VC820 - $120

The ultimate carrying case for portable audio: Van Nuys VC820. At $120, this is quite expensive. But the fact that, this case is customizable makes it very future proof. Meaning, even if you change your DAPs or Amps, you can be 99.99% assured that it would fit. The case also works well for Hugo 2 like devices. As for the downsides, the case is not exactly sturdy. So it is not something that can take a beating, nor the ideal one for protecting your gear from drops (there's always Pelican case for that).

The internal dimensions without the separators are approximately: 21 x 15 x 4 cm / 10 x 6 x 2-1/2 inches. The separators attach to the walls through Velcro and are easy to adjust. You could comfortably store a DAP and 2 IEMs. If you are alright with winding your cables tightly, you could even fit 3 or 4 IEMs along with the DAP and a few small accessories. Here is a picture of my VC820 with the following:

Lotoo Paw Gold
Zeus + PWAudio No 5 cable
EA Leonidas cable
Sennheiser IE80

I also store a small zipper with eartips and ADEL modules above the DAP.

My Dignis looks about the same, costs 105,000원 (think is was $80-100, can't recall).

Sweet case Jonathan. Only after I purchased the VanNuys case, did I come to learn about the Dignis Hako case. Had I known, I'd have probably gone for the Hako. VC820 and Hako are almost identical in dimensions and function. But Hako seems to be more sturdy because, the walls of the Van Nuys cases are held together with velcro.

Oh wow. Just 1/10 the price of the VanNuys case. I wish we came to know each other sooner Frankie. You would have helped me save a $100. :)

The cases that Campfire includes with their IEMs are the best I've seen. They're all available for purchase on their website and are definitely worth it.

I like the campfire cases but I didn’t care for the lining or the space taken by the side things that cramped the case too. I lined it with microfiber and added a foam divider to keep the IEMs in place and to keep from hitting each other. This was just a first try but I’m probably gonna work on something a bit nicer.

Does someone use this FiiO case for the hiby and earphones or another player? I would like to hear some experiences, especially regarding the magnetic snap closing mechanism..
This looks like a perfect type of case (if it was not red!)

Looks very nice but it is pricy. Did anyone end up getting it. Maybe post a link to a cheaper price or version?
Best I found so far is this one.
I'm thinking of ordering it:
