Never did find anything that I could afford and then other priorities took over... But now things have changed a bit. I just received a 'new' GVII in good shape and ready to work. But no case... So... Does anyone know of a case; new or old, hard or soft; that's reasonably priced that will hold a GVII. Preferably all put together, including the tripod mount? I'd love to get my hands on another Graflex original case, but I haven't seen one available since I can remember... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, Rich... | ||

Make some careful measurements (or take it with you) to a Building Supply, (Lowes, HomeDepot, etc)See if you can find one that fits. | ||

Strong enough for my 225lbs to jump up and down on! Good luck Dave Parker | ||

They come close if the tripod mount is removed, but I really don't want to do that. So a case would have to be at least 14 inches high. The original is about 14x10x20 and is a snug fit with no foam at all. But the camera is held tightly in place between hanging on the dividers and the tripod mount pressing against the top. So a little searching is still in order... Thanks... | ||

Unfortunately, it all might have to wait because I managed to impulse-buy a spare Speed today. Good price, but it wasn't in my budget... Thanks... | ||

They were 24" long. Hang some dirty socks on it and nobody will steal it-) Price was fairly cheap but it's a few inches too short for my calumet. Right now I'm thinking about a hockey bag but I was hoping for the lighter sports bag. | ||
