Mine is the old "Mississippi Saxophone" case. I've had it for years. I know there are much cooler cases out there but I just keep using this.
Let's see your kit.

Well if I had one I would let you see it, but I don't. For years I've just used a small backpack for my harps, mics, leads, etc. The harps are either kept in a soft case inside the backpack, or in their boxes. I find the backpack is less conspicuous than a fancy case, so therefore less likely to attract unwanted attention. Plus of course it's easier to carry around on a motorbike :)

Mine is just the generic Musicians Gear brand case sold on musiciansfriend. Has two trays full of diatonics, and I keep other gigging necessities in the other compartments like my LO toolkit, spare MS parts, small flashlight, shades, beer coolie, pens, etc. It works just fne for me, although the key lock on the catch has never worked.

I've got in and out jacks so I can plug my mic in one end, the amp feed in the other, stomp boxes up in the case where I can tweak em. I'm now getting some noise using those jacks so I'm not using them - but it's a groovacious idea = no? My stomp boxed are now the micro pog and a TC Electronics flashback delay. That's a Yamaha magic stomp in the pic. A very cool early emulation / multi fx box.

I just gutted this old briefcase, cut some dividers and bracing from balsa, padded the top and bottom then glued this lairey fabric. the removable harp drawer was put together pretty rough and ready, from scrap. cutting the slot for the hinge was fun.
its not a high quality finish, kinda rustic but it does what i need. improved my life...and it was fun to make..

I'd eventually love to buy and incorporate this nifty little reimagining of the Danelectro Amp-in-Case from Fritz Bros. Guitars into my harp case. It'd make for a very handy travel-light rig. Just my harp case with the amp and mic inside, and a speaker cabinet.

On my old harp case it is hard to see in the photo but that is a Fender Bassman nameplate velcro'ed to the inside of the lid.

For mine, the Klimt case is more cool. Great image to have when you open your case!

Rick, Your case setting next to that Premier amp like that, I had to set that as the background on work computor. Nice set up.
My current set up is a bicycle trunk bag. I have 18 diatonics 2 chroms a couple of mics and a few other things in it. Portable and inconspicuous. But I do have a brief case I plan on retro fitting.

Look what I just dug up from the catacombs of my mind/life/junk! Made this pouch thingy in the early 80s as a young fella about to embark on about 4 yrs of spiritual wanderings about the globe. Due to the period, all Lee Oskars!

Summary of what I had written:
I was saying that I currently use a basic Hohner hard shell case that holds 12 diatonics and a chromatic. But I find when I go out I more often am packing mic, chord, sheets with music chords or lyrics, music stand, some small tools like screwdriver, I may be including a pedal. I end up throwing the hard shell case and all the other equipment in a backpack much like Kingly. While I don't think I can get away from needing a backpack for some of the gear I do think I could benefit from a harmonica case upgrade to carry the harmonica stuff all in one container. The only market case at music shops that seems to come close to meet my desires is the Hohner briefcase (which goes for $70 on musiciansfriend) but I'm concerned about the longevity and durability.

Yeah I dunno Ryan. My standard briefcase refit cost under $20, but that was starting with a free case that I salvaged. Longevity? No idea, mine had already had a hard life and been discarded, but I've used it for over a year and its fine. Fits 2 bullet mics, 2 cables, 2 pedals and power supplies, 13 diatonics, screwdriver, patch cables, earplugs, spare tube, batteries, adapters, iPod, and I can even squeeze in some paper if needed, oh and a chromatic. I have managed to carry a 3rd mic but that was pushing things to the limits.

Lol, somehow this thread caused me to order the Hohner harmonica briefcase. This is what happens when I spend more time on this forum I acquire more gear. Especially around tax return time, heh. I might resell the Hohner harmonica hard shell case with some like new marine bands on eBay or something, lol.

I stick with my old fender case... Can't get enough gold plush. Feels perfessunal :o). But I am crazy about HK's Danelectro Amp-in-Case idea. That would be fun to put together. But then I'd have to buy a bigger case :o.

My trusty, and sadly discontinued, Harmonica Masterclass case. I've had it over 10 years and its got some miles on it. I've practically built my show around it. Mic in left hole, harp/harps in the middle, and beverage in the right hole, as you can see from the stain.
It's on its last legs, but at this point I can't live without a stand mounted case.I reckon I'll be giving Christian a call soon.
