Gameboy and Game Gear has loads of different cases, many readily available cheap on eBay. Atari Lynx has 2 different styles and they are cheap only because Atari overproduced them. But it seems only one case was made for Turboexpress and it's about as rare as hen's teeth. So I thought maybe getting a different, more common bag for my TE.

Which one would be good? I would prefer a hard case style as it'd be easy to repaint it black (if needed) and get a vinyl decal to cover old logo. It has Everdrive so I won't be carrying any additional game but it would be nice if there's room for spare batteries.

Can't remember brands, etc. but I know camera cases work well. Find one that fits and you're good to go.

I use an Atari Lynx Case for my Express. It's not the giant suitcase style. It fits the system, some accessories, and a few cards.

I use a little lunch bag. Fits the system perfectly.

Found a Samsonite branded soft camera case that fits TE just perfectly, there's enough room left for 6xAA batteries When one has Everdrive, no need to carry extra game cards. :D Now to find a nice looking TG-16 logo that I can iron on over Samsonite logo.

Got a part number or something for that case? I wouldn't mind upgrading the sammich bag.

I just use a soft, purse-string style bag that came with a pair of shoes. It's soft and doesn't damage the screen, but it doesn't do much to protect it.

The Lynx case previously mentioned sounds like a good bet. I'm gonna look into that.

No tag or anything in the bag to tell me but there were a couple old paperwork inside for a 35mm camera made in the 80s. Odds are the case I got is rather old and not in production.

I'll see about Lynx bag. I have 2 Lynxes and I plan to have the second one LCD modded plus flash cart so if the small Lynx bag doesn't work for my TE, I can still use it.

There's a few Turbo express ones.

I have this one.

The more common orange one is made of thinner fabric and isn't as durable.

I don't have a TE, but I would use a camera case too as that's what I used for my Nomad.
