The forum's case thread (81 likes) collects what people carry theirs in. adonis found the USA Gear GPD Pocket 7-inch hard-shell case for about $17 with a top pocket for cables (RandomDIY warns a near-identical case did not fit); jceaser uses the USA Gear 7.5-inch camera-monitor case at $16.99 with pick-and-pull foam and a screen flap; gh057 fits a console wearing the HackerGadgets antenna mounting kit into a large ProCase hard electronics organiser with a divider over the screen. Other suggestions range from a Nanuk 909 with foam to the Peak Design Tech Pouch.
