Testing Cases for OP-1 Field

I also have this case (Mimi antenna). My OG-1 doesn’t fit fully in the bottom “cut out”. It has to rest on top of one of the sides, by about 1/8-1/4”.

Overall it still feels protected tho! And it fits an OP-Z in a roll up sleeve, and cables in the outer pocket.

could anyone with a field and a decksaver check, whether the decksaver fits the op1 field from behind?

If it does getting two decksavers and a piece of rubber could be a perfect hardcase. the knob bulges on the back could fit some cables, maybe?

holy shit!!! that’s genius!!!

i just tried my decksaver… it works perfectly… in fact, you would get a little gap in between the top and bottom decksaver, and guess what- its the exact size you need for the power switch!!!

i’m ordering another decksaver immediately. so much better for how i travel than what i have now- i use the decksaver inside the original unit portables bag… its all super safe and then i throw it in my backpack anyway. but having the 2 decksaver sandwhich… its like literally 50% smaller overall than the unit portables solution.

On the topic of the DeckSaver. I did notice that it is still possible to use it as a sort of kick stand like on the OG-1 but because of the new back design the OP-1f, it’s a little crooked because it rests on the protruding plastic instead of the aluminum edge. It does fit perfectly on the back upside-down so the OP-1f leaning away from you. So it still kind of works as a little prop just not as well as the OG-1.

FYI Decksaver w/ Chroma Caps on the Field; the cover touches the tops of the encoders.

OK I modified my OG-1 case (the current one still available) for science.

Before mod, the OP-1F was only obstructed by its new power switch. And while the case is soft enough one could “force” the Field in there, l feel the potential stress on the switch was not an acceptable risk.

Using a pocket knife blade which is really sharp (ask me how I know, LOL) I made three small slices in a “U” shape, sized and positioned to accommodate the switch. I did not remove any material.

Next, using a finger, I pressed the material and inward and slightly upward…I was able to easily “sculpt” a small rectangular void.

TE may disapprove, but the Field fits perfectly, with no added stress on the switch, but with quite a bit of padding still present between the switch and the outside world.

That all said, the “two Decksavers” idea is brilliant, and I immediately ordered a second one! I think I’ll use the soft case for everyday and the Decksaver-sandwich for in my backpack in an overhead bin.

No, the Decksaver does not fit in the OG case. :slight_smile:

This is all great info. Thank you.

Is anyone using the original Unit Portables case with the OP-1f? If it does fit, would you be able to share some photos?

It fits but I did turn on the power switch sometimes when I put it in, even with a deck saver on it

Excellent work! I shall do the same if I don’t like the new case. I’m suspecting I’ll prefer that older one, but we’ll see.

The meme case flips the switch all the time for me… super fiddly and not fun for the Field. I suppose you could cut a notch in the material, but that’s not something I’m going to do.

where can you order those decksavers?

Almost every music store have them. But online you can find them also :slight_smile:

As promised, here is the Roland boutique bag I had lying around - fits beautifully with lots of padding.

right so its not a op-1 field specific decksaver, the same one as on the OG OP-1 right?

wich reminds me, anyone have any nice recommendations on cables for OP-1 field?
specifically a nice 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack cable?
