ivanwilson Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 EversoI got a set of Fontopia EX71SL earphones today. With them was a carry case - same grey cloth as with MZ-NH1 but exactly the right size for the mini-disc player - it fits a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermark Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I own this one: http://www.audiocubes.com/category/Cases+a...rying_Case.htmlFits my RH10, 1-6 MDs, optical cable, Sony mic and battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skradgee Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 OK, how about this one....http://www.radiodirectory.com/usstoreproductsB0001YFYF6.htmlThis case came free with my MZ-NH1 purchase. The armband can be detached and cases don't get much smaller than this.I too am looking for the perfect case for my MZ-NH1. It should be a soft case and it has to be just a little bit bigger than that armband case. Big enough to hold two Radioshack mini microphones, the clips for 'em, and a couple audio adapters.Please, post your cases here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I use the case that came with my MZ-N707, NH1 fits nicely with room for a disc or two, very little bigger than the player, and hooks into belt buckle etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 for on the road listening use, I have the Case Logic MDC-2it's ok, but only has got a loop (no clip) to slide it over your belt; makes you look rediculous if you want to take it off (have to unbuckle your belt)... and forget about 3md's in the front pouch, like their site says! I couldn't even get one in... I use it to carry an extra batt (or AA-addon with my nh900)when I'm out recording interviews and stuff, I've got my heavy duty, big enough to carry all equipment Lowepro D-RES 10AW (actually a digit camera bag, but very protective/soft and with a lot of nice subdivisions and ample space for a small mic, extra batt, two or three md's,...) and it's highly durable even has a rain hood thingy (this is the one that goes with me on snowboardingtrips!!

Wedge Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I've been looking for a case for my NH1 to no avail.Why (apart from cost) did Sony stop doing nice protective cases like they did for the N1? Made to fit, and usable in the case.The 'pouches' they supply nowadays are pretty pathetic. Nice one Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzzi Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 (edited) I have one of those Fontopia headophone bags too for my MDR-EX81SL, and its perfect for an NH1. Its slides in easily, but theres no slack material. The only thing it lacks is a beltloop. Edited April 24, 2005 by Uzzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quixoptic Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I carry mine in a Gameboy Advance case I bought at Walmsrt for $6. I shopped all over the internet for the smallest case possible and this is the smallest one I found. I put the player in the side that has the clear skin and cut holes in it for my ports. You can even carry a spare disc in the otherside. It has velcro belt loop strap that I really like.Hi all,I have got a NH1 on the way. I am now looking for the perfect cary case.

malheuresement Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have just written a reply in this thread about a Nintendo Advance SP case. Have a look - I have put a few photos with it.I find that it is a perfect fit for an NH900 - might be slightly big for an NH1, but could be worth a try. With this one, no additional holes would be required I think.A question for posting -- is there any way (or associated etiquette) for posting replies to more than one thread at a time? I am thinking in terms of duplication of info. Off-forum replies welcome to avoid clogging!mal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Oh my gosh!!! Yes that is exactally what I am talking about Ryzir and smkranz!!!!Can you buy them already with specific cuts out in them? or do you have to cut out the shapes yourself??I really want one of these!

The Quantaray case has two layers of it. That is, the foam is scored (pre-cut) partly through into little half-inch squares, and to customize the shape you carefully pull them out (by separating them the rest of the way) to create the cavities you want.

Skradgee Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hey, Low Volta that first Caselogic case you posted looks excellent. Just big enough to hold everything I need, so I'll try that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everso Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well all things considered I went for a case logic MPC2. It's only a little larger than the MD but will (at a push) hold the remote and earbuds.I didn't like the fixed belt loop so put a small hole in the unzipped side and fitted a caribenar (is that spelt right - the climbing rope holdy thingies).The wire for the remore comes out of the zip opening and it all works just fine.Thanks for the advice guys.Everso.

Topaz Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Take a look at this thread for some more alternatives and options. My view is that you probably need several cases for the one unit, each used based on the circumstances (recording, listening, travelling light, travelling prepared, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artstar Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I've still got my old Sevired leather cases from my old MZ-R50. Now, ordinarily, I would say that they would be the best spot to look at because they custom-make cases to suit. Unfortunately, my experiences with Martin of Sevired have not been pleasant and since ordering a case for my MZ-NH1 in September 2004, I have yet to see any delivery or even a response since Martin last promised me to resend the items registered mail back in February this year. Needless to say, I'm cheesed.So in the meantime, I've been using my MZ-R50 case which is perfect width-wise and actually does suit the NH1 provided that I cut the hole out to suit the mic plug since the NH1 is about 1/2" shorter than the old R50. I blame myself for not examining this option before I lost my money to oblivion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 In my opinion, this is the ideal MD case. However, it was only produced in limited quantity for the MZ-E10. Take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To order the Quantaray medium hard-sided case ( http://www.ritzcamera.com/webapp/wcs/store...1018%3Bc1001635 ) directly from Ritz Camera here in the U.S. would cost you about (AUD) $123 shipped to Australia.You might have a few more viable options, however. Perhaps you could buy just the foam inserts, then get yourself an inexpensive briefcase and make your own custom minidisc case. The foam would be similar to this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1or this...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVWI feel your pain!

dyonisus Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I myself have the caselogic case for my rig. But I'm looking for a case that will hold my minidisc when I use it with the AA battery case attached. Seeing that this makes the unit wider it will not fit in the caselogic. I was thinking of modding a Puma watch bag I have to make it fit by just cutting the foam to size but I was wondering if anyone has a case they can suggest. Just in case here is a look at the Puma watch bag of which I speak. I measured it and it should hold my player just right *crosses fingers*.

lewpei Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) I find with 98% of the cases they have a belt hoop and don't know about your area but up here in P.E.I. Canada we usually wear track suits when we walk or exercise as they are much more confortable. In other words a belt hoop is useless and you need the type with a clip.The best looking one I have found with a clip, made of leather, made to fit & protect your unit come from a company who if they don't have one to fit your unit will make one. They are not cheap but than again your new unit is worth it and anything worthwile today never is. You usually get what you pay for.I can't seem to get the hyperlink to work so you will have to type it in yourself but you will maybe find what you want here. Hope tghis is a help.www.cases.com.ar/.

dyonisus Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Thanks lewpei. I found a case that has exactly what I need. Plus a travel case at the same place aswell.

lacobo Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) For a couple of years I am using a just-fit bag from an unknown brand. It's from a stretchable material and I can fit the MD unit, a spare battery, one MD (without the casing) and all the lefover wires in it and that's it. I can wear it on my belt. When I walk with it I move it to the front of my waste, when cycling it's on the side. It is the most lightweight and small bag that I could find and it shows hardly any evidence of the almost daily use in the last few years.I bought it at a Sony store, but I am sure it's not from Sony. Does anyone recognize it? Edited May 29, 2005 by lacobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
