I finally created a prototype yoyo case for edc that does not use foam. ![Yoyo Case1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/4/e/64e690b77efa0ef42aedbccaacb710f09c5d97aa.jpeg) ![Yoyo Case4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/7/d/e7db4ff634aa0f721d40d730dc78588d7039996e.jpeg) ![Yoyo Case3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/1/fd11115e0fdf2a3fbc46d72bb3bf182e7b95382d.jpeg) ![Yoyo Case2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/b/b0b0fd4c8a08d8ab02d17d9e18f99aedec48b6c7.jpeg) I used a 3D printer to create a prone system with stretchies to suspend the yoyo in place. This way the yoyo can’t bounce all over the place and you can, with a bit of practice, easily take one and put one back ![241113101_1031855784020182_3554705994488158121_n](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/c/b/0cb0e706418dc7fec660a24673b43b0f057dd584.jpeg) After I created a strong enough base with PLA (base) and ASA (Prones), I started the fabric cutting and glued everything in place ![Yoyo Case5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/6/a/e6a785bd2085619f3854eef15b7df3a9816f6dce.jpeg) Then I just slid the base in the case and put the stretchies on it, filled the case with strings and bearings and ofcourse a nice yoyo multi tool. You can find the case I used here: > **[HEYSTOP Schutzhülle für Nintendo Switch und Switch OLED, Schutz Switch...](https://www.amazon.de/HEYSTOP-Nintendo-Tragetasche-Kartenschlitz-Schutzh%C3%BClle-gray/dp/B0859X7TJ5)** > > Feature: Die große Kapazität bietet Platz für die Nintendo Switch-Konsole und Zubehör und bietet ausreichend Komfort für die Verwendung.

Very clever, looks way cooler than cut foam in my opinion! Could be customized with colored stretchies or scaled to any size case, and your design inherently prevents the yoyos from falling out of position so you could have a briefcase setup with throws secured in the lid section as well as the base. Let us know how it stands the test of time and handling and any updates that you make to it! Ivan ---

Yeh, its possible to use the lid too to optimize space, but I would use a sepperator to protect top from bottom then ---

Does anyone know if it would be possible to take a normal bag, but modify it so it can be a yoyo case? I man something more like a backpack or messenger bag, but it doesn’t just hold yoyos. Like it could hold a laptop, or a note book. Something sort of like this: ![yoyofactory-bag-inside-300x300](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/e/0/fe0e02b262d0f4ab671b4ccf4470722b433b5d0d.jpeg) ![yoyofactory-bag-blue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/3/07362432103e8f003c0d231300b06653e07e8a9f.jpeg) ![yoyofactory-bag-8-yoyos-300x300](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/e/c/0eca6e3874ff4b93f5d2ece199fcc8805eb8fa94.jpeg) ---

But the easiest way probably is just getting a yoyo case or pouch and put in the bag lol. ---
