What we have learned pressing cases, written down. No product pitches in here — these are the notes we would give you across a bench.
Measure your machine before you buy a caseA diagonal describes a screen, not a body. Three measurements, a tape and five minutes — the whole reason returns happen in this category.
Shell or sleeve: which one you actually needTwo different answers to two different questions. The deciding factor is not the machine — it is what else is in the bag.
Packing a camera kit that does not rattleSmall hard objects are the worst passengers in any bag. How we lay out an interior, and how to lay out yours.
What moulded EVA is, and what it is notThe material the whole workshop runs on — why it dents instead of cracking, and why we will not call it waterproof.
Travelling with spare camera batteriesWhere the cells go, why the contacts matter, and how a charging case makes the airport part simpler.
Making a case lastZips, coatings, hinges and the four habits that decide whether a shell is still good in three years.
