April 16, 20215 yr I need to come up with some better way than I'm currently using to cover my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke (with mounted Saitek radio panel on top). If I told you what I've currently been using you'd laugh at me (my wife's unused shower caps) 🙄 I've tried buying some cheap custom made clear plastic covers...but the "custom" part didn't turn out so well and they were even larger and more hideous than the shower caps so I don't use them. Anyone in a similar position and have a better idea? Edited April 16, 20215 yr by hangar Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons

That's the idea. Those look durable enough to travel with and use at shows. Don't really need the fabric to be that substantial if they are just shaped well.

April 16, 20215 yr What a good idea. I've always been irritated by my equipment gathering dust and never even considered dust covers.  I have the new Airbus controller and may just cut off the top of its box and use it as a slipover dust cover. I can make a keyboard cover with a few pieces of cardboard cereal boxes and some tape or perhaps a few bits of old plastic.

April 16, 20215 yr Considering so much of what we buy these days still comes wrapped in plastic bags, it should be easy enough to find something that will cover most objects, and saves them going into landfill. I hope when Honeycomb sells these, they don't come wrapped in plastic!

April 16, 20215 yr Author Thanks guys, already knew about the Honeycomb covers but I think that's still just an idea they're toying with and so those covers are not yet for sale. I've been waiting for the announcement that they can be purchased but until then I need to find a better solution than the shower caps, lol. Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons
