See https://imgur.com/a/53mc7Aq . I haven’t used my OP-Z for a couple of weeks, busy moving house, and by the time I got back to it I found it like this. The line the tarpaulin is opening on is not even one where the the case is “stressed” by opening and closing, so this looks like a production issue.
I asked TE if they’ve experienced this before, let’s see what they say.
Seems so useless! Absolutely desperate for third parties to make small cases. I think the OP-Z seems so fragile and really wanting to keep it safe
A decksaver with a proper case with room for cables would the the best option for me.
Wow, Decksaver are on the ball!

What kind of case do you prefer? I might be willing to make a few up.

Have to be honest I don’t like the additional space above the encoders. I’ve contacted Decksaver to see if they’ll do a ‘slimline’ version that isn’t quite as bulky. I have no intention of putting knobs on those lovely twiddlediscs myself…

Yes, cannot understand the choice of encoder space, not necessary at all and although I like my OP-1 decksaver, that extra bump means I won’t be getting this particular one!
I guess you could fold up the cable and put it in there… would it fit though?
yeah, don’t get why they would put the bump for the knobs when there are no knobs…would be so much better without that bump
Wow, something that fits so well in your pocket, now doesn’t because of space for non-existent knobs! Yeah, decksavers need to change that. However I don’t think I’d use their protection on this particular synth. I’ll put it in my bag as it is, or with the TE “life jacket” case.
I think they have been clever to include knob space, as people will fit them. Personally I never will though, much prefer the 4 deck mix master encoders!
I’ll report back here if they respond to my query about doing a ‘slimline’ version of the decksaver. I would imagine most people won’t put knobs on their encoders.
Given it’s just a grey slab of tough plastic with no screen I am going for the no case option, it makes it smaller!
Here’s the response from decksaver:
Hi Jon,
Thank you for your enquiry and interest in Decksaver products.
The feedback has been noted, however you will be surprised how slick the cover is when on the unit.
As the tooling has been produced we are unlikely to produce another version as we had to try and accommodate every possible combination.
Kind regards,
Decksaver Team

I have replied suggesting that I think few people will go for the knobbed option given the awesomeness of the encoders, but it seems like it’s not economical for them, which makes sense.
I think personally I will stick with the pre-order wrap option for now. As SLiC said, it’s pretty resilient in it’s form factor already.
one might be able to store the usb cable and ear buds in the knob bump. I would rather just have a slimline decksaver.
