I have seen some Facebook posts about cases and gig bags for Stage.
For reference the Stage is 18.5" X 10.24" X 3.35"
Inexpensive solutions include:
- Apache 5800 Weatherproof X-Large Rolling Case - 20.25" X 11.25" X 5.75" (available at Harbor Freight)
-
Plano 36” (available on Amazon) - this longer case includes enough room for expression pedals and cables.
More expensive solutions include:
Pelican

Thanks mate. That Apache case seemed intresting.

That Apache case seemed intresting.
I have one (not yet for the Stage). It is very nice and carry-on "compliant" so you can fly with it easily.
Edit: And right now you can get it for 20-25% off because of Labor Day, so at around $70 it is a steal.

Yeah, unfortunely they seem not to deliver to Finland That would have been too good.

Hop on a plane, come for a visit to the US. (May wipe out the 20% savings on the case )
Also, avoid Florida for the next few days as a hurricane is also coming for a visit there. -
Thanks for this great list of hard/flight cases for the Stage! I have two Stages which are getting moved around a lot, and the Kemper soft bag is stressing me out
I was able to find two Plano 42" cases locally ($115/ea) which I am going to pickup this afternoon.
I opted for the 42" since they were basically the same price as the 36", and that would provide more room for more cushion, IEMs, cables, two expression pedals, etc.
I may make a video on this project -
FYI... I purchased both the Apache 9800 and Plano cases yesterday. Very disappointed in both in terms of quality and sturdiness. So both are going back today.
Decided on using a Pelican 1720 & Pelican iM3200 for my two Stages. The 1720 I found used locally, and the iM3200 I ordered new from Pelican on sale ($271). While the Pelican's aren't cheap, they offer superior protection and these Kempers are just too valuable to not be properly protected.

SKB 3i-2015-7KPS iSeries Kemper Profiler Stage Case not sure of price overseas. About 200 $US.
Travels well by air

I had the SKB case for a while. It's awesome for ultimate protection. I stopped using it because I moved the stage to a pedaltrain board and use the case that came with that. Not as good protection, but I don't travel with the stage much.
