The Hippo case works, and that is why I like my NiteIze case. This otterbox is good for storage but obviously not for listening..


Yep, that's my issue. I want a case (preferably black leather) w/ a belt clip so I can use it while listening. I have a 2009 iPod Classic & a Headstage Arrow that is en route to me. I figure the two plus accounting for my LOD means I'd need to find a case that can accommodate something 5.5" - 5.75" Long x 2.5" Wide x .75" Thick. No luck so far. I've been looking at mostly camera cases.

I'm in the same boat as you. I found a generic camera case w/ belt loop that fits my iPod w/ Arrow 12HE and there seems to be enough room to add the low-pro LOD that I have on order. I just need to cut a hole in the top flap when my Elite TWag replacement cables come in.

I have a colleague with the same problem. He found a case a muji that seemed to fit an ipodclassic +ibasso pretty perfect.

Don't know how easy it'd be for you guys to get to Muji though. There's one in Nottingham, UK if you fancy a trip-up.

Is this the $75 JH Audio carbon fiber Otterbox case referred to earlier?

Pretty sure I nabbed this pic from another Head-fier on perhaps a JH-13 thread, but I don't remember which one

I just realized that a portable charging cable or external battery (or both) is a necessity when traveling that we are not including room for in out portable rig cases. Not necessarily for portable listening, where the belt clip can come in so handy, but for transporting the rig it would be nice to have room for a sync cable/usb plug adapter or whatever.

This is the smallest amped rig that I have, and the whole thing fits
with room to spare into the case for the RE1s alone...

Found a much more compact travel case, fits my thin iMod/Arrow like a glove, with a separate internal pocket for the dock cable and e-Q7s.

It's a Case Logic ECB-1, if anyone is interested.

here's my solution for Ipod Classic + Ibasso D10.
the Canon Deluxe Soft Case PSC-100 fits perfectly. The main problem finding a case was the LOD, as the cable sticks out fair bit so either you have to get a bigger case than neede or find a case with a flip top that can be kept open. I'll include some photos so you can see better what I am talking about..
It has a nice belt attachment and it opens by using 2 side zippers. with the lod you cant fully zip up as it pushes the lod but can zip almost all the way and it stays pretty secure..
As a bonus, the case is pretty atractive in itself, with a nice leather touch

Not a chance; my thin 30gb iPod and Arrow (and velcro/pads) pretty much maxed it out; they measure less than 1 inch total, about 2.5 cm

LevA's case looks like a possibility for belt use, not as protective (softer) though for transport...

thanks grokit,

not sure how big the 3move is, but if its the size or similar size to D10 it should work. as for protection, its not a hard case, but the padding is really nice and thick. It wraps my setup perfectly so DAP/AMP doesn't move inside.. also, with the belt clip (I use a Carabiner) you can flip the top of the case and listen on the go.

only thing is that you cant zip the sides all the way, though been using it for a year and the zips are holding with no problem (and the zips dont go all the way down so works like a safety protection as even with all the way down the setup is nicely held in case). if you use a low LOD it should be even better, and might get to zipp up all the way.
