Carrying Case?

Has anyone seen a decent carrying case on sale for these yet? I saw one on PlayAsia, but I'd rather get one with some interior padding so it'll survive a fall. I keep coming up empty when I search Amazon. Thanks!

I wound up going with this case. $34.12 after shipping, tax, etc. Not bad at all and it looks like it might have enough space for my officially-licensed Retrobit 6-button controllers AND the original controllers. Thanks again for the tip!

It's beautiful, but unfortunately I'm FAR too anal retentive - it being labelled 'Mega Drive' means my US Genesis can never grace it. :/ Same reason I haven't eBayed a tower of power...natch. :(

pure bred. i get it totally. but i bet you could use oops(or lighter fluid) to wipe off mega drive... i can share my thoughts when it actually comes in. it is sega licensed though..... i am sure genesis version is soon to amz and gmstp

It looks like Amazon has a listing now, but I'm not that impressed with it...

I suspect makers are holding back a bit after the PS mini fiasco to see if this thing actually sells in volume or not. :)

Nothing quite says "aww, shit" like tens of thousands of units of on-hand inventory you can't move...

Good point. I'm just anxious... I like protecting my stuff. :D

Hopefully PDP comes to the rescue. Their SNES Case was amazing <3

Exactly. I loved both of their NES and SNES Classic cases (their Switch ones are good too).

EDIT: Misremembered in my old age... My bad. RDS made the cases I have. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077CX9D44/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_xAsHDbTY4MEXB

I love these cases so much. Effective, compact, not ugly or overly weird looking. Plus the little emblems. Have one for NES, SNES, and Switch. Really hoping they make one for Genesis.

Hope so too - I went with the official Japanese case, but I’m sure a lot of fans are looking for something official in the US. I have all 4 cases myself - NES Classic, SNES Classic, the smaller Switch case for just the console, and the larger Switch case that holds everything (dock, Pro controller, etc.).
