GS Mini case
« on: May 02, 2020, 12:01:47 PM »
I've been looking for a hard case for my GS Mini-e. I see a lot of the Gator and the SKB cases, but I want something a little more traditional looking. Something that is not thin plastic with aluminum stiffeners. I think that I've found a couple, but they don't specifically say that the GS Mini fits them. Some help would be appreciated.

Use the search function.  Put in the search box the words "Mini Case", limit search to thread Titles and you'll get 7 results plus this thread.  That's not a whole lot of reading and you'll find the answer you're looking for.

Yes, thank you. I did that already and didn't find what I was looking for in those suggestions.  But that's alright, I'll figure it out myself. I appreciate the effort.

I have looked at dozens of cases. I know what I want, I just don't know where to find one that will fit the GS Mini. I want one that looks like this. In fact, this is exactly what I want, but it is too big for the GS Mini. So I wondered if anyone might have something of the same design and the same style that they have already tested and found it to be the right size.

Just to let everyone know, because I'm sure everyone has been wondering, I ended up buying the SKB hardcase. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I could not find exactly what I wanted. It arrived, it is a very good case. The latches are bulbous monstrosities that look like they will do the job, plus some. So my search is finally over. Thanks to those who took the time to respond.

I have one of those for a GS Mini.  It will do the job for you.  I agree the latches are a bit unsightly but they are well made and I have never had any problems with them.

I had one too (MGap :) )...it is made well and does the trick. I never understood the latches either.
