Railfan Technology > New camera caseDate: 11/12/17 08:27 New camera case Author: bodkin6071 Made a trip to Harbor Freight this morning and bought the "Apache 3800" all-weather, lockable case for my Canon Rebel T6. It has "pull-apart" foam inserts so you can customize it to your likings. I made it so the 18-55 was still attached to the camera, and made out holes for the 75-300, battery charger, lens caps, and other accessories. The battery charger cutout also doubles as a caddy for the camera stap and lens cleaning rag. Not bad for only $35 (HF sells the 3800 for $39.99, after tax was $43. Having a 20% off coupon helped).
There are also two other Apache cases HF sells, a small (the 1800) and medium (2800). The 3800 is the largest one. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/12/17 08:30 by bodkin6071. Date: 11/13/17 03:53 Re: New camera case Author: acltrainman Very nice case with the removable pieces.

I have heard several say that after they pluck the foam to the necessary shape, they spray the foam with an product called Plastidip (comes in a spray can). It apparently it helps hold the remaining foam together and reduces wear. You might google it and check it out.
