    I was wondering if anyone knows if these are hardly for sale? I was wanting one for when I go to lans and for whenever I travel. I looked at the ones Slappa makes but I dont think they would fit my Logitech G35's. Are they even necessary? Or will they be fine traveling with books and a laptop inside the backpack? I was preferably wanting a hard case one.

    what i did was buy a piece of Styrofoam and make a cutout that fits on the inside of the headset. This keeps the headset from being bent and tweaked out while in my backpack. after that i made a bag with a drawstring on top to put the headset inside. the fabric you use doesnt really matter as its just meant to protect the headset from scratches.

    i know its not better then a hard case at all but it does work better then having it just rolling around in the bag.

    Thank you for your response. I will definately keep that in mind. If anyone else has an idea, you're more than welcome.

    Ive got the laptop covered....it's in my backpack. I need a different storage solution just for my Logitech gaming headset, the g35's. Thanks for the input though steveparker.

    i dont think youll be able to find something made for it but if you dont mind spendin a little money and time you could buy a case from pelican. you can mold out the insides for the g35. im thinking you could use one of these models for the headset 1120, 1150, 1170, 1200, 1300. i havent measured my headset so im not sure which one would be the best youll have to measure it out and pick which one you want. you can look at these cases here
    http://www.pelican.com/home.php

    if your headset breaks in this case then nothing will protect it.
    if you get curious and wanna look at one for a laptop just look at 1495cc1

    the ones for the headset should be less then $50 for the largest one providing you dont add stuff like esd shielding (i havent looked though)

    the laptop 1495cc1 will be over $200 dollars though that im sure about. (this would be the ultimate protection though :D)

    this is one site that sells them but im sure there are others so shop around.

    I really dont think that would be necessary for my purposes lol. I was really wanting something like the one slappa makes that would fit my g35's and not be expensive and in like the 20-$30 range.

    Probably completely useless info, but as you can see the G35 does nestle quite nicely in an MMX300 bag. Of course, you'll need to get hold of an MMX300 first…

    [​IMG]

    In slightly more useful info for everyone else, the compartment needs to be 6.5w x 8"h x 4"d. Or if yer not from round these parts, then 165mmW x 205mmH x 100mmD.

    The Headroom case fits those dimensions, and was designed to fit large headphones like sennheiser hd650's. I'm also sure they have a return policy. I think you'd be set so long as the microphone is detachable.

    oh cool then a pelican case at those dimensions is about $43 (solid foam)plus shipping. i assume the dimensions you gave are internal case requirements? so the pelican 1200 case would fit these headsets perfectly and give a little extra room for other stuff

    Would that pelican case fit inside a backpack. A big one?
