I'm looking to get a soft case for my T2 for local use instead of lugging around my heavy duty case. Can anyone recommend something which is the right size and offers decent protection? Please post links!

Thanks, Chony

I previously used the Kaces Porter III, model #KKP9KB case which includes built in wheels (44.5" x 17" x 6.5") to transport my Tyros1, and now use it to transport my Tyros2. The KKP9KB's interior length & width (abeit snug) dimensions closely match Tyros2 . The kb case thickness is about 2" thicker than the kb, so I use a piece of 2" thick foam, cut to the same dimensions as the case interior, which offers additional padded protection to the top of the kb (keys, buttons & screen) as well keeps the keyboard from moving around in the case. The Kaces Porter Kase is perfect for daily gig transport as it's both lightweight yet provides adequately padded protection. I find the Tyros & Kaces Porter KKP9KV a terrific lightweight combo. You can get it for $79 at Musician's Friend. The only thing I don't like about the new Kases Porter design is its 'swivel' handle. Because it swivels freely, it has a tendancy to bang the back of your hand. I much prefered Kase's Porter older design with the fixed telescoping handle, as the swiveling handle makes it a little more akward to manuver. On balance though, it's light weight + strong rugged foam core construction combined with its bargain $79 price, make it a case I continue to use & recommend.
