I just got this cover by Decksaver. $80 Amazon

Is it durable? - YES very very durable
Made well? - YES made in Britain
Looks good? - YES heavenly good
Good price? - NO it's not even worth $40

The price for these are absolutely insane. BUT they are the best supposedly.

I've got Decksavers for most of my studio gear (including both Force and MPC) and agree - they are fantastic as well as hilariously overpriced. But they're a niche company with an extremely limited customer base, so I get the cost. These aren't made in China in bulk - they're made in the UK in very limited runs. Decksaver won't even make them unless they're sure they can sell enough to pay for the printing/forming/molds with a decent return. I've been trying to get them to make one for my Roland System 8 but they claim there's not enough demand. Not for my Dreadbox Typhon either, which sounds suspect (that's one of most popular synths under $400 USD in the past year)!

But yeah - Decksavers YAY! Price BOO!!
