I highly highly highly recommend this one:

Gator GKPE-88-TSA - http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GKPE88TSA/

I took the advice of others on here and it fits great.

+1 - Agreed!

This case fits my 88 great, and protects it very well. My Kronos travels locally 1-2 times weekly, and this case is perfect.

I ordered a custom made flight case... I think it fits better, and I got wheels :)

I have the Road Ready RRKB88W - It's a flight, and it's way too heavy - But it keeps my Kronos safe.
Well worth the extra weight.

The only thing that I don't like about it is that there's only one handle on the side. Would have been easier to carry by myself with two handles.

I have the slightly smaller case for my 73. If you're gigging enough to kill a gig bag/semi hard case, this is the most durable and back friendly option IMO.

For some reason they only put a handle on one end in addition to the center handle, so I requested a second one for the other end and installed it. Hopefully they'll make that standard!

GTOUR88

I have the G Tour 88 case made by Gator. It is a solid case and I like it but there are not enough handles for one person to manage ergonomically. (One in the center instead of 2 spaced out equally.) The heavy weight of the case + Kronos 88 is really hard on the wrists and fingers and it makes it near impossible to lift by yourself with the middle handle. If you have a partner or band mate with you then it's a perfect case. Also not recommended if you have a lot of stairs to go up and down.

The 88 key has handles on both ends (which is a life saver). The 73 did not? Wow, they really should have (unless they assume the 73 and 76 key synths are all semi-weighted, thus not weighing nearly as much. But still, long and awkward deserves more handles!
