Yesterday, the people at Lowepro released a set of new cases for GoPro users. The Dashpoint Action Video Case (now available) comes in two sizes, a small AVC 1 and a larger AVC 2. Both cases are semi-hard shell plastic cases with a soft, customizable interior and are available in two colors: black or blue. Anyone who's used a GoPro knows how difficult it is to keep all the little parts organized in your bag, this might just be the solution.
The small AVC 1 (pictured below on the left) fits one GoPro along with accessories, cases, and mounting. The large AVC 2 (pictured below on the right) holds two GoPros, accessories, cases, mounts, and maybe a little stabilizer. These cool little cases will help keep your GoPro equipment safe and organized, which is a good thing because up until now I've kept all my little accessories in a ziplock at the bottom of my bag.

Coming from a bag manufacturer, i am rather disappointed. They obviously have been doing their designs in a cocoon. Any Gopro users want the INTERIORS of the bag to be water and dust proof for easy cleaning!!! How many of us use a Gopro in a studio? None! It's in dusty, salt water, unimaginable environment. The 'carpet' interior of this bag isn't gg to make it.
Good point. You'd think they'd design it to be as robust as the system it holds! I'm a SKB case person myself. I like the idea behind the bags but it feels like they're definitely more consumer focused than pro.
These cases look like they have about as much protection as a Styrofoam food container (notice the "shape" of the edges). Why would you need a "padded"/soft interior for a rugged camera. I would think a hard case (SKB, Pelican, etc.) would make much more sense. Throwing them in a Crown Royal bag and dropping them in a bigger bag/backpack would make as much sense as this case to me.
