TL;DR: Making neoprene keyboard cases. Probably starting
with Poker size. Waiting to see how much labor is involved
in the production before we price them, likely under $30.
If
you are interested, let me know what size you want. See
below for discussion and ideas.
So… my friend can sew, and is willing to put together some
neoprene sleeves. We sketched it out last night, and it
looks like about 15-20 poker/hhkb-sized sleeves can be cut
from one sheet of neoprene.
I’m planning on just buying
the materials since I want this for myself, but since there
is plenty left over, I figured I’d check to see if anybody
else would be interested.
I haven’t settled on the
colors. I think black with a bright inside color would be
nice, but all suggestions are welcome. I haven’t settled on
a source for the neoprene, but here are some common colors:

Note that colored neoprene will be black on one side.
Shipping
should be very cheap since they can be rolled up and they
don’t require any padding. Please note that we have not
settled on a price – figure 25-30 per sleeve depending on
how many people are interested. If we find a cheaper place
to get neoprene they will go down; however, I want to have a
fair price for labor. My own interest in this is limited to
making back what I invest in materials, getting a nice final
product and hopefully being able to share with the community
for a good price while helping my friend make a little extra
cash in exchange for her expertise..
We haven’t quite
settled on a design.Perhaps a pocket for a USB cable. Any
insight into accommodating non-removable USB cables would be
appreciated, since the current design would sorta leave
Filco owners in the cold.
CONSIDERATIONS (most things are up for discussion!):
-Colors
- current suggestions: black, dark red/burgundy, dark
green
-Fastener/closure: Snaps/buttons, or hook+loop
(velcro). Zippers are not possible, unfortunately.
-Pocket
for USB cable
-Accomodations for non-detachable
cables
Quote from: typhaeon -Have a flap that goes over
the end with either 1-2 click-fastener straps or a sewn-in
magnetic bar to which it attaches if zippers won’t work.
-Burgundy,
black, and a darker red/forest green would be my preferred
colors.
-male and female plastic clip ends on each
corner so they can be conjoined together and rolled up
