Good afternoon everybody!

It seems that there is no case specifically designed for our A1 on the market.

I would like to ask a manufacturer to produce one for us.

Of course I need a minimum volume to make the production possible.

Please let me know if you are interested.

To make things easier, please write your name and a progressive number.

I'll start:

Paolo Mariano 001

Once we know how many of us are interested I will try and get some offers and publish here the results, maybe collect your requests and place an order.

What do you think? Big Smile

A friend of mine has started a company that makes some nice bags, he also makes leather cases and I think this might be a good fit for his company maybe. They are located in South Africa but ships all over the world. http://bora.li/store/

Sounds like a good idea.

To me me it doesn't have to be a bag/case of leather - could be something like the (Mini-)Duffel from Bora. = nothing fancy.

And the price should relate to the price of the A1 = not fancy either.

Nice Michael. I hope that he does well from it. Could be THE FIRST A1 case! My main client is based in South Africa and oh my, what a beautiful country. I'm lucky that I travel over there frequently. Cape Town is really special to me - 30+ beaches less than an hour away with amazing surf as the Indian Ocean mixes with the Pacific. Just incredible :)

I don't think everyone want a beoplay-bag. And B&O markets it without a bag, showing how it wears with age. I think BORA might make a really sweet bag for it.

I just put my BeoPlay A1 in my Hard Graft BeoPlay H8 leather case. It fits perfectly.

It's not tailored to the A1, but with the thickness of the leather and the thickness of the A1 the A1 isn't sliding around in it. I rather like having a bag that can serve either the A1 or the H8.

I guess I would use it too, if I already had one....

....but what to do, if you want to take both with you ;-)

In fact ...

I mean, it's ok, but I would really love to have a tailor made one.

Maybe I should ask my shoe maker to make one for me Smile

And it's worth every cent. Hard Graft makes beautiful, quality leather products -which is apparent from their partnership with Bang & Olufsen.

I found a Louis Vuitton camera bag that works nicely for the A1, too!

Thanks, Beojeff for sharing the picture of your Hardgraft case.  My H6 headphones came with a cloth bag and the fastening broke within the first week!  I have never heard of that company so I looked them up and see they have some great products!  They are also heavily into B & O and Apple so can't be bad!  Anyway, I ordered a case for my H6's straight away in Black and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.  I think the company should pay you commission!

I'm off on a plane very shortly and wanted to pack my A1

In amongst al of the previous airplane stuff I've received I remember getting a little bag (well I have 4 of them lol) with toiletries that would be perfect for the A1

Thank you Cathay
