CASEMATIX Asthma Inhaler Case - Black

I'm not really here to review the CaseMatix product itself as much as to offer my experiences and assistance to the community of users / customers. The product seems fine and sturdy and will serve its job well. Seems a little high priced to me, but also seems pretty good quality and should do its job well if you cut the foam properly. That was my first surprise (and not immediately obvious to me) that you have to design it yourself for whatever your use. That's a good thing, because you can use it for a lot of purposes and use it the way you see fit. But it's also more work to have to try to decide the best configuration. It gave me pause, because most of the ad photos show the product finished after someone has cut out the squares. NOTE: I'll try to attach media to this post in the order mentioned in the post. No promises, though! :-) MY LAYOUT DESIGN AND TEMPLATE FOR THE OCULUS QUEST 2 (default head strap) So I looked at the photos that other customers submitted for the way they designed the foam for the Oculus equipment (thanks for those submissions, everyone!). Then I embarked on designing my own. I tried to design mine with extra cushion (2 squares) towards what would be the bottom of the case when it is closed and standing upright. I also didn't want any of the main pieces touching each other and clanking together, and at least 2 squares between almost all of the pieces. I also wanted the pieces to be snug, so they just fit in there and hold in place well. The heavy end of the headpiece is towards the bottom of the case so that when the case is closed and upright, it will not exert extra pressure on headband / earpieces / any other pieces. As you can see, there is also a special section of loose foam (green section in my grid template) to attempt to protect the lenses and keep the headband tamed. The headband excess is folded back and forth gently in its designed foam pocket, leaving extra room for other features in the case. Finally, with some remaining space near the handle of the case, I'm using 2 squares the length of the case for chargers, cords, etc. I found that the foam squares in my CaseMatix case are 28 across by 21 down. Since I had to go through the design work for myself, anyway, I was inspired to freely offer the blueprint for this design here so that others could use it if they felt it would meet their needs and did not want to take the time to design their own (see photos to make this determination if you are interested). To do that, I obtained a grid and colored it in accordingly (see photos). I also included a blank grid (see photos) in case anyone else wants to document their particular design for others to use similarly. I hope this is helpful to someone! :-) TIP FOR SEEING FOAM SQUARE EDGES I also found that it was difficult to keep track of where the edges of the squares were in normal light (for grid transfer, counting squares, precision separating, etc). (Maybe this is my eyes? or maybe I'm not using enough light?). So I offer this tip you can kind of see the square edges when light is above or around you (see photos), but you can really easily see the square edges when you lay a light source (like flashlight) down on the foam and shine it across the surface of the foam (see photos)! SEPARATING THE SQUARES I initially missed the small, single-sided "foam customization guide" included the the case because of the advertisey-looking "follow us" message on the opposite side. So I made the mistake of trying to cut my first section out with a knife. That is not necessary, though, as the squares are connected to each other in such a way that you can pull them apart with your fingers. Once you pull them apart, they are permanently separated, unless you tried to glue them back in or order a new foam replacement. If you pull them apart, there seems to be much less (maybe even none) loose foam fragments than if you try to cut them out. After I discovered the "foam customization guide", it says you can "press down firmly on the blocks of foam you wish to remove and they will separate from the surrounding blocks" however, when I tried this, I was concerned that this method might weaken the connection of the surrounding blocks I wanted to keep in place. So instead I found that separating each block connection one at a time was better. I'm going to try to submit a movie demonstrating this technique (see attached movie). It allowed me to precisely sever only the connections that I wanted to without compromising surrounding connections: You insert your finger on the connection you want to sever (in between two squares), and alternate (wiggle) the tip of your finger back and forth against the two foam blocks you are trying to separate as you press your finger all the way down to the bottom of the blocks. OTHER IDEAS: I am experimenting (see photos) with storing (and attempting to protect) the long and expensive Oculus Link cable under the main foam, so that I can bring it with me and not have to pack it separately and hopefully not have to worry about it getting any kinks / sharp bends in it. I also experimented (not pictured here) with trying to fit my dedicated wireless router in the package (but mine is a little too tall with antennas that cannot be removed), and the chargers and a Chromecast device. The router was really the only thing that didn't fit because it was too tall. So the good news is that there's additional room you can experiment with in this design. Finally, I had another, generic idea to share about the CaseMatix case: This might be especially helpful if you only use it for transporting? You could purchase more foam inserts, and switch them out, depending on what you want to store / transport in it. I haven't checked how much the new foam inserts cost, though, to know if it is very cost effective or not. Information about this is available on the insert called "foam customization guide" (at the CaseMatix website, apparently). Dont forget to register at their website for your free lifetime warranty! (as mentioned on the "advertisey-looking 'follow us' message" insert).

It was absolutely perfect because you can customize it easily to accommodate my Question 3 and Bobovr S3pro headset. Great protection for the gear! Worth the price.

Great case it fits my quest 3, audio battery head strap, facial interface with fan, and my controllers. The case also closes well with all that stuff in it. I might have to buy a new foam insert soon so I can redo it I didn't do vary well the first time around. Seems like it will protect the headset well. I was also surprised about the weight of the case it is lighter than I thought it would be even with everything in it. Overall I really like this case and it looks nice to.

I purposefully bought this case because it mentioned that it can fit a VR headset with the elite strap and even shows a picture of the case open with the headstrap attached as well as the link cable and the controllers. It looks like the perfect option for a rigid case for a headset, right? Well, just beware if you want to use this for a quest 2 with a bobo m2 halo vr headstrap, because you can't close the case!! The case is not deep enough to fit the entire headset with padding on the bottom and top and be able to close the case completely, even after taking out most of the foam. I had to disassemble the head strap and fold it in a specific way to get it to fit in, and that did not leave any additional space anywhere else in the padding for the controllers, except in the same space I cleared for the back half of the strap, which gives them some wiggle room inside the case. I'm sure it could likely fit the elite headstrap with no issues, but the little prongs at the top of the bobo m2 are too tall for this case with everything put together. And if you've ever had to make your headstrap a comfortable fit, you know that once you have it the way you like it, you don't want to change it. But this case pretty much forces you to do that every time you want to put the headset it. As far as actually modifying the foam on the inside to make different shapes, that couldn't be easier since the foam is already partially cut and you basically just tear out the sections you need with your fingers. Just pinch a section of foam and swirl it around a bit at the top to break the first few connections, and then push your fingers along the edges of the foam to break the connections further down. It's even easier when you are tearing out large sections since you can grab a whole section and pull it back to start tearing it out. So as far as what the case is by default, a customizable hard body foam case, it works just as intended. But for what the picture says, make sure you are using the default or elite strap, or maybe the original bobo vr halo strap without the extra prongs on top to be able to fit into this case comfortably with everything still assembled.

This case is awesome and very convenient to store and protect against damage and helps prevent the lost items.

Wow very nice and strong case, easy to adjust to my microphones and plenty space. Very lightweight.

A little bigger than I expected. Seems sturdy and durable. Fits standard inhaler. It seems a little too big to dangle from a lanyard on your neck. I do not recommend this for small children. It is a fine product. Works out purposely. I am going to feel weird dangling it from my neck. Lanyard is nice but there is no round piece to clip it. I struggled with the cloth piece it has to dangle it. I do recommend it but consider the age before purchasing it. I, in my opinion, believe that it is too large for a child. Teenager would be fine as they are bigger.

I will NOT recommend this case for FrankQuest. I purchased this case to protect my FrankenQuest mod. I missed Nevan's reviews and photos (which I regret). Please read his review at https://smile.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2YQA25DX7WUY5/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07S59ZSMN The case is great to protect your Oculus Quest and other gear, but NOT for a modded unit (FrankenQuest). I will give it 5 starts because it IS a good case and the vendor never claimed it would fit the HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. If you need a nice, strong case (but NOT as strong as a Pelican case), this case is a good choice. Now... for MY problem. For those that don't know, a FrankenQuest is a simple modification to the Oculus Quest, where you remove the default head-strap and attach a HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap (DAS). Using the DAS in your Quest will redistribute the weight of the Quest away from the front (making it much more comfortable), making is super easy to adjust (great if you share your set) and enhance audio with excellent over the ear headphones. Its super nice! Information can be found at https://smile.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Deluxe-Audio-Strap-pc and you can Google "FrankenQuest" for video tutorials. I will agree with Nevan that the DAS seems to be a bit too tall for this case (see the photos in his review). While the DAS is flexible and I could force the case close, I'm concerned that it may permanently damage the DAS in the long run. I would be more comfortable if the case were 1 inch taller. I will NOT recommend this case for FrankQuest.
