Case logic camcorder case from Walmart. I lined mine with a bit of packing foam cut to the shape of the V1. Works perfect and only costs about $8. Plus its red and black, matching the V1.

I have a Case Logic external hard drive case for mine.

On the plus side, it's smaller and cheaper than the V1 case.

On the minus side, it only holds the RD, not the accessories. Not a problem for me as mine is hardwired, but something to consider.

I found a Case Logic small camcorder case at Wally World today, $14.

It's black with red zipper trim, inside is lined with red. Fits the V1 perfectly inside and the stretchy mesh pocket fits the remote display (I wouldn't care about it if it wasn't a custom one). Enough room to close it comfortably and without much effort. Comes with a top carrying handle and a nice little belt strap loop if I ever wanted to carry it along with other equipment.

It's kind of a "reinforced soft case," where it can compress a little but definitely feels a little rigid (on one side) but not completely hard-cased.

I like how it matches the color scheme of the V1 too, heh.

Not to be Captain Obvious, but bring your V1 (and the fitted foam piece if you have it) to wherever you are looking at cases. I actually wanted a hard case to put the foam in and such, but I was very content with this case that I was willing forgo the hard case idea (and save $$$).

I am trying to find a link to it online and both Walmart.com and CaseLogic.com do not have it listed. It's good because it's not like the "U" shape of most camera cases but not super compartmentalized and bulky like most camcorder cases. Walmart had a ton of them too, so I wouldn't think they're like discontinued or rare... strange!

We have the same one. Can't find a pic of it online though. Mine must have been priced wrong cause it was less than what you paid. But yeah, i agree that it is a soft case, but is rigid at the same time. Feels secure.
