If you are investing in an expensive instrument, it makes sense to protect your investment with a decent case. The internal padding holds a Genos 2 keyboard firmly within the case so that it doesn't move around, while the outer shell and ball corners protect the contents from the knocks and dirt of transport. The snap handles on the sides aid carrying the case and keyboard (which together weigh 24kg) so you don't need to struggle alone lifting such a heavy load. Well thought out and worth the money.
