I previously used the Kaces Porter III, model #KKP9KB case which includes built in wheels (44.5" x 17" x 6.5") to transport my Tyros1, and now use it to transport my Tyros2. The KKP9KB's interior length & width (abeit snug) dimensions closely match Tyros2 . The kb case thickness is about 2" thicker than the kb, so I use a piece of 2" thick foam, cut to the same dimensions as the case interior, which offers additional padded protection to the top of the kb (keys, buttons & screen) as well keeps the keyboard from moving around in the case. The Kaces Porter Kase is perfect for daily gig transport as it's both lightweight yet provides adequately padded protection. I find the Tyros & Kaces Porter KKP9KV a terrific lightweight combo. You can get it for $79 at Musician's Friend. The only thing I don't like about the new Kases Porter design is its 'swivel' handle. Because it swivels freely, it has a tendancy to bang the back of your hand. I much prefered Kase's Porter older design with the fixed telescoping handle, as the swiveling handle makes it a little more akward to manuver. On balance though, it's light weight + strong rugged foam core construction combined with its bargain $79 price, make it a case I continue to use & recommend.
