5/8 pipe insulation works like a charm. just cut a piece and wrap a couple of velcro ties around it.

I'm guessing t(.)(.)bs arrived??....... sweetness!!!

I use gaffer taped insulation. I'm thinking about drilling out a Pelican Case I have, but the insulation works fine.

Me too.

Right now I'm running them wrapped in a small hand towel held in place with gaff tape. Works, but totally ghetto...

It is covered in 1.5" heat shrink. Not worried about shock protection, just scratch protection. There is a piece of velco attached to the heatshrink that holds it in place, when attached to the KVY the 5pin xlr sits at the bottom of the bag and kcy connect to the top

I use a little fishing tackle box & anti-static foam for my @&% 460 bodies. http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=115732.msg1547673#msg1547673
You can find them at walmart/kmart for a few bucks. I have since chopped off the capsule section so it takes up less of a foot print.
