I love the case that Noble provides because it looks tough and locks quite tightly, but every time I put my 4Cs there (while also inside the soft pouch), I notice that it leaves marks (sometimes deep, sometimes shallow) on the foam because the 4C is pushed into it when the case is closed. I'm afraid it might bend the acrylic over time. Should I be worried about that?

You won't bend the acrylic, the foam is supple enough not to hurt it,  but be careful how you place the ciem so not to put pressure on the cable connection.

I much prefer my Peli 1010 for that reason. Deeper and less bulky.

Yeah, the stock Noble case is a little too shallow to fit the K10s without leaving any marks on the foam padding. It'll be nice if it came in a thicker body. Anyway, I don't think it'll cause any lasting effects on the acrylic shells, but hey, what the heck. For something as precious as my K10s, I carry them around in a Pelican 1010 or 1020.

I rock the Pelican 1040 since I also use it to carry my ALO Rx/Fiio X3 stack. (apologies for those of you who have seen this before)

As the forum is now talking about the neutrality of the Noble 4, has anyone done a comparison with the Savant (or even UERM)?


This is an excellent comparison:

You'll have to wait a bit for other Savant reviews.

I think I have the 1060. Way too damn big. Bought it to house the k10s, centrance hifi m8 and iPod. I don't like carrying it around so I don't use it

One of these should fit hopefully any need in the CIEM/DAP arena.
