Case for Ford/Lectron Adapter?

[CameraCarl]

Now that more Ford/Lectron adapters are arriving has anyone found a good case that can hold just the Ford adapter? (I've seen threads about cases for the original Tesla/Ford adapters and for two adapters, but I haven't seen any threads about buying a minimalist case just for the Lectron adapter.)

Harbor Freight has a hard case for about $13.00 that is the right dimension for it. I am off to buy mine today.

Someone had posted they got a case designed for GoPro equipment from Amazon which fit the replacement adapter quite nicely. I retired from GoPro a little over a year ago, and I have a bunch of their cases. Tried one of the smaller, narrow ones that you get if you buy a camera, and it fits quite snuggly; the knock-offs on Amazon, as mentioned, do as well (for less $$$ than buying a case from GoPro, let alone buying a camera).

Anyone with a GoPro bought within the last 3 years or so might want to give that case a try, if they aren't using it on the reg to house/carry their GoPro stuff.

Are these for the Lectron/Ford adapter? I checked the dimensions for one of the GoPro cases on Amazon and they were about 6-1/2 inches but my adapter is 7 inches long, so I didn't think it would fit.

Do you have a link to the case?

I have no experience with the Amazon cases; there may be other brands selling as GoPro cases.

The case pictured has interior dimensions of approximately 8 1/8" x 3 3/4". The vertical measurement is around 2" in height. TBH, when I first looked at the case with the adapter in my other hand, I was doubtful, but it zipped shut easily. The lid has a webbed pocket, which also helps to hold the adapter steady.

Unfortunately, GoPro doesn't sell the slim cases alone; they sell a larger version of this case, and a soft-bodied one that wouldn't offer much protection.

Wife got back home with the Mach-E. Pics with the adapter inside. Note it's a little too long; the tightness of the case prevents the adapter from sliding around, and even if it does, it hits soft materials.
