Ok, so how would this briefcase work for a yoyo case?  Too slim or big or just right?

It’d be big enough for yoyos that aren’t offstrings. ---

You can make a case out of nearly anything when it comes to yoyos. The weirder the better as far as I’m concerned. Right now I’m on the lookout for an old violin case. ---

I think it’s a great choice. I will say that based on my experience of cutting lots of foam for all my cases, that it will have a capacity of approx. 30 YoYo’s. If you were to buy aluminum poker chip cases that are very plentiful on-line, you could find other alternatives much cheaper. Especially when you buy them without the chips. A case that will have a 24 YoYo capacity will run you around $20.00. They come in many different sizes as well for different size collections. Check out the link to a couple cases I have built that were under $20.00. The cost of the foam is approx about $10.00 as well.

I’ve seen quite a few cases made from the aluminum brief cases. I think they work good. But I think you can do better on price. ---

Thanks for the help guys! Just one more question, where do you guys buy the black foam? I’ve seen other colors at Joann’s but I haven’t seen black foam anywhere. ---

You can dye it with rit dye just let it dry it the sun for awhile after. ---

> [@yoyospirit](#): > > > [@modman10](#): > > > > You can dye it with rit dye just let it dry it the sun for awhile after. > > I know, but that’s too messy lol You want a firmer foam. It cuts a lot better. I’m researching this as well. I don’t care for the padding foam available at Joanns. It does a good job, I just prefer a stiffer foam.
