Not me! Nice-looking craftsmanship, but at that price I'd want to buy a case for the case! :D

I agree, Bob, but they are sooooooo... tempting, even at that price as no one else is making them and offering them for sale.

Someone should reproduce the cases for the Excelda- they're just treated cloth with leather trim.

Hi

I made a pouch for my Mikiphone a while back, only did one, hand sewing this took quite a bit of time. I might have to try making one like the one on ebay, they sure aren't giving it away at that price. It is very well made judging by the photos.

Regards Marcel

This is the one I made below.

I'm just wondering why they made the handle or strap part different. Mine has two leather handles. I know there are a few different types of cases. However,I have never seen that one before and with a big button snap.

If you look at the pictures closely in the Ebay listing, you'll see that they have included a photo of an original case that the new one is based on. In fact the angle of the photo is almost identical and you can see that the new cases are almost identical to one specific style they made originally.

You are right though; they made plenty of different styles.

I personally think saxymojo should knock a few up for his fellow collectors and sell them to us for less than 300 Euros! ;)
