M3M Case Report - SKB-C3209 NOT an optimal choice

Post by cotler »

I got the SKB-C3209 case for my M3M. The specs made it sound like a very good fit. Well, this cheaply made, $120 USD case arrived today.

I couldn't shut the lid the way it shipped, or at least was unwilling to force this down and risk snapping any faders.

I ripped one of the layers of foam in the lid out and stuck the surviving top foam layer to the adhesive left in the lid. That solved the problem closing the lid, snug but not requiring brute force.

With the foam thined out there was an issue with the module sliding to either end of the case. I HATE sticking stuff on to my equipment, but I fastened a couple of small velcro adhesive squares to the bottom of the M3M. That stops the sliding, but makes it a pain in the rear pulling it apart from the bottom velcro/foam insert.

Be forwarned, this case is NOT an optimal solution for the M3M. I suppose if I wasn't so bull headed or stupid I could have shipped it back for a refund. But prefering a cruddy case solution to moving the M3M around without ANY case, I didn't. :cry:
