When I made my first case I used a small tomato paste can and just cut the top off, but as for diameter if you aren’t custom fitting all the yoyos based on their sizes, 55-57mm should be a good size. ---

Sure. Like most things there are numerous reasonable approaches and in most cases none is better than another. ---

Also, how much spacing should there be between the holes & how big are the holes in the yoyo bags that are sold on YYE? ---

Different brands are different, but in my ‘case’ (pun intended), it’s about 5cm diameter and 6.5cm between the center points of each holes, or about 1.5cm away each other. It was custom made however, I think most other cases have a little more spacing inbetween. ---

Leave about 1/2 to 3/4 in. between the edges of the holes.
