Google Blue Herin Cases. They are not cheap but the guy makes outstanding custom cases.

Thanks Scott for the recomendation. I just got a real nice case from Hybrid Cases made in Holbrook NY. The case is very well made and the price was resonable. I was impressed to recieve this custom made case in about a weeks time. My KMA will be well protected for my summer travel.

I'm glad to see you got one and like it. I"m very happy with mine. Heck, it's the same weight or less than soft cases. You can't go wrong with that company. I'd recommend them for all brand and model keyboards.

I'm wondering how much you're case ended up weighing.

I got the strongest flight case they make. It's 15 lbs.

Now you're up to 25 pounds, for a mini keyboard. If I was going to do that I'd stay with a regular sized board. For me the advantage of the KMA is its size and weight. You've just cancelled out all of that. ???

Remember it is a flight case. I will be doing lots of air and bus travel this summer. I feel confident that the KMA will not get damaged.

Last summer I traveled with a Tyros 2 in a flight case, and it was MUCH heavier. It was not fun bringing it up and down several flights of stairs, trying to fit it in taxi... 25 lbs will be much easier to deal with. My Tyros 2 in a flight is over 60 lbs and very bulky too.

Yep that still makes sense. If you are traveling then it will be protected and still will be a hell of lot lighter for those trips than a heavier keyboard in a road case.
