Anyone know where to buy a soft carry case for the Rio Car? I don't see it offered on the sonicblue site anywhere.
I like that hard case i saw the review for on this site, but thats kinda big to carry around everywhere.
Thanks!!
Brian

There are smaller cases available from Pelican; I ordered the same as shown in the popular review trailer as I liked to keep my ac adaptor with it. Check the measures at the Pelican site, I guess a small should fit, too.

Sorry, the only "official" cases available are at the International store. We don't have enough stock left to make it worth shipping any over to the US.

Thanks Rob,
Man, that really stinks!! I like that official case too. It looks nice.
Are there any other soft cases that fit the Empeg good?
The hard cases are good, but even a little one is like carrying around a small breifcase.
Thanks again!
Brian

Try digital camera cases (I think one was reviewed here several weeks ago - a soft, padded one with pockets for cables etc - something similar to this).

One advantage of buying an empeg (MKII) was last year's free carry case.

The Case Logic PDC-1 works pretty well and has room for cables and AC adapter too. The strap isn't very good - I had to attach a pad to it to give it a little traction and padding for comfort, but it's adequate. You should be able to find it anywhere for < $20.

Good luck!

Yep, anyone who does not qualify to order from the International store who calls in to our Cambridge office in person can have a free carry case

(..and I'll bet SOMEONE will take me up on that)

Just wait outside in the carpark, there should be someone in at 9am.
