I own the Decksaver cover for the Arturia Microfreak.
I like to drag the Freak around in a laptop bag with headphones and usb powerbank and this protects protruding knobs.
Have ordered one for my Headrush MX-5 as well.
They fit snug and are durable.

 

This is very cool, never knew someone was doing something like this but it looks very useful.

 

I might buy a microkorg one when they get them in. My OG minilogue is pristine because of one of these things.

Yeah, overly overpriced... Experience speaking, nothing worth a good, solid rack-style case. Wood and metal, that is the way.

If you just need to protect your instrument from dust, a piece of used fabric that you cut yourself, a recycled nylon / canvas / ticking / denim / plastic cover... Whatever is better.

Considering they're custom designed quality niche products they are going to cost.
They are not "meat salad" lids.
Besides, I can afford them and they sure look more professional in a studio than a tea towel thrown over top (which is what I had before)

 

I think it looks very nice as @BEAT16 post shows. I have one of camo canvas, and another black padded quilt one. I need a few more. I have those Roland Bag dust cover bags for small or less expensive stuff. But Decksavers are definitely worth it to protect a significant investment. I think they have a nice model, you can easily get custom ones made however you want.

It doesn't make any sense for cheap things because they will break on their own anyway.

I didn't buy one of these for my Push and constantly worried about damaging the knobs. When I got the Push 2 I got a Decksaver for it, which wasn't cheap but it provides peace of mind. Also keeps dust away.

 

See, this is where this plastic option doesn't even seem that great. It's 3 or 4x more expensive. The custom canvas etc. are like 50, compared to 200. The others are very nice. You could get 3 or 4 for the same as one of these, and this just makes it look like a 1200 waiting to be smashed. Dust is the worst for any of this stuff typically.

 

I see the prices have gone up greatly since I bought one for my Push 2 - I paid £31 in 2018 and they're now £45.

Correction: they're still much cheaper at Thomann, where I puchased mine (now £36).
