Was wanting to know if anyone is making Hard Shell Cases for the 1D and X1? I know Native Instruments has the padded bag. but I want more protection around my units. Ive been thinking of picking up something like this and placing more foam in the case to make sure its a nice tight fit. But I wanted to know other options before I buy anything.
I think your idea of buying a case and custom cutting the foam is the best bet. If you plan it right you may be able to get all of your gear including laptop in one case.
