I've got a new 87 and I want to get a protective case for it.

Fluke wants $35 for what amounts to a piece of pleather and a zipper.

Let's just say I don't want to pay it, and leave it at that.

Who can come up with a cross-purpose case (ie, made for PSP or Wii or such)
that will work for an 87 and a few sets of test probes that's either cheaper
or has more features (extra pockets? more padding? hard shell?) than the
Fluke for the same $$ ?

It's thinking beanie time!

Thanks.

Have a look at makeup/toilet bags. Or perhaps give your wife the
dimensions and ask her to. ;-) Other possibility is outdoor purses or
wallets - the sort of thing climbers or cyclists etc might wear.

I use the velvet bags that a small bottle of Chivas Regal comes in.
It makes me look neat and tidy and a fancy drinker.

So far I only have two of them.

When my daughter needed a case for her digital camer she went to a
nice WalMart and they had a great selection. How big or large is the
fluke 87?
