Can anyone recommend a case for an A1?
Give it a couple of months and B&O MAY collaborate with Hard Graft. If demand for the A1 is high, which it WILL BE judging by peoples reactions to it and the FANTASTIC reviews, then it makes financial sense to launch one. I'm thinking browny tan leather with round holes. Retro like the leather transistor radio ones of the 1960s :)
For me, the A1 is my all time favourite BANG&OLUFSEN product!!! It's sexy, it's retro, it's cute and it fits into my lifestyle!
Stemming from conversations in another thread (), an official/unofficial case for the A1 would definitely trigger calls to 'retro' design ideas!
Of course, any Graft-like leather pouch would work, but that would probably be for storage-only.
What is so retro about the A1?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
MM To me, the round shape and the leather strap - if the BeoLit 15 is retro, then this certainly is! Mind you, to me, A9 is retro as was the A8. To me, round is always retro thats why Fiat 500 and MINI have round lights at the front :)
Haha YES Earle, that's exactly what I mean, but round!
Here's an example...

@Paul W
If ' round is always retro', I will have to agree with you ;-)))
:) :) :)
Aussie Michael:Are you thinking something like the old BeoSound 2 leather case ?
BeoNut since '75
According to the BeoPlay adverts you are supposed to like the A1 with all its dents and scratches showing its history.
It's the old advertising trick of taking the worst features of a product and trying to turn them into some sort of virtue.

I'M thinking of something sporty to protect it when travelling about. I'm not sure I agree that every scratch tells a story, more like every scratch would be really annoying.
Maybe a neoprene case with the right dimensions, anyone found one?
