I have been looking for a good travel case for both the TR and power supply. I may get the Body Glove DVD player case as mentioned in another posting. However I noticed these links to a specific case for the TR series.

I have ordered from Dynasism before and got the semi hard case for my SRX series computer. A very nice case, except as mentioned in another posting, it lacks a handle and a place for a power supply. That was $99. Now I want a case for the TR that is both small and has room for accessories. The Porter Bag seems perfect, except for the $249 price. Unless someone knows of a cheaper way of getting one, I’ll probably buy the Body Glove DVD player at $35.

$249 is alittle bit too much for what it is..but knowing me, i’ll probably wind up getting it eventually.. 

I was going to get that bag until I saw the price, then I looked elseware. The best price I saw was $225 one time on ebay…still way too much for a non-leather case IMO.

Could someone please help me out who speaks japanese with translation of this site

http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/vaio/acc/acc.cfm?pd=13856

cause i would like to know the specs

especially what they say about the padding and weight

Well, here goes my first post.

The translated specs and info for the PCGA-MBC13 are as follows:

- Dimension: width 310mm x height 210mm x depth 80mm
- Weight: approx. 460g
- Color: light gray
- Quality of the material: Nylon

The bag employs some sort of urethane material, which protects the notebook from shock and other possible external damages while in carriage. In addition, the fastener cover of the bag provides additional protection from rain and dust.

Other info within that page includes your typical accessories pocket within the bag and its padded shoulder pad.

Thanx for the quick translation

Now the hard part comes, choosing between this and the waterfield bag

I just want to let you know that we are releasing our own brand Sony TR bag that very similar to MBC-13 but for a fraction of the price

The bag uses the same material as the MBC-13 and have the same dimension as well.

Here is some of the pictures of the bag:

We will post this product on our site pretty soon and the price is $89.  As usual, for the member of Sony TR group, we will give $10 discount and free standard shipping for US customers   The bag is available now and in limited quantity only.

Cheers
