A cheap Atari Lynx II carrying case alternative

[Nop90]

The original atari Lynx carrying case starts to be rare and overpriced, but I found a cheap alternative on chinese marketplaces and I received it just today.

 

 

The case measures are 24x12x5 cm and the Lynx II fits very well in it. There are a lot of pockets for the carts or other little accessories (like a comlynx cable).

 

 

If you want more space there are bigger cases, like this one where I can put a charger and the small cart programmer mounted on a RPI 0. I bought this one a year ago.

 

 

Unluckily there are no cases that fit the Lynx I, at least for the moment.

 

The price is about 9€ and I'm very happy of it. I'm going to buy other 3 of them.

Very slick indeed. I am considering.

You can search on aliexpress for "Travel bag cable", there are several models and different prices/promotions. The brand of mine is TUUTH, but i think it's only a rebranding because I can find the same product with other brands.

I got burned by aliexpress (China Crooks) in the past; didn't receive my order.  Am hesitant about stickin' my finger back into the socket.  Those cases are nice though.

In the last year I received about 50 items from Aliexpress and 2 got lost, but forthem I asked a refund; at first the two vendors denied the refund asking to wait a little more, but after the delivery end date Aliexpress forced the vendor to refund me.

 

For me it worked better than ebay.

Point taken.  Glad you got the refunds due.   I have been burned by Ebay as well, no recourse.  The Fraud-sters simply input a bogus shipping tracking number that shows a delivery and then PayPal closes the case.  It's a scam that cannot be fought.
