I have seen a number of very nice cases but none that allow me to sneak yoyos in and out of work undetected, so I decided to create my own special-purpose, double-secret case, which I have dubbed the "Corporate Camo Case" due to its ability to blend in with the corporate workplace. The foam cutting is pretty low quality, but give me your thoughts otherwise. The case (blending in):  The case (action shot):  Case open:  Case (overhead view):  Case (overhead view 2):  Tony |

Well, I did a prototype first that involved just cutting the basic shapes to see if the foam would handle that many cutouts. Pretty low quality, really. Then I measured and holes based on average yoyo size in order to make an overlay (since I had 2 one-inch pieces of foam. Then I cut both layers and glued them together. It's not a 100% overlap, but pretty good. Finally, I put yoyos in the case so that it'd be tough to see the uneven spots. Took a few hours to make sure everything lined up well enough. I had to move relatively quickly so my wife wouldn't get tired of having the dining room table cluttered with foam pieces.

I like you're case too. Did you just use a sharp knife to cut the holes in the foam? I use a Hole saw for cutting doorknobs to cut the holes in the foam, and it works Perfect as long as you run it in reverse.

I used an exacto knife. I decided not to use the hole saw for the big holes because I wanted them to be able to hold either the Free Agent or the Flying Panda. Doing the octagon cut allowed me to fit both of them.

I noticed you got a copper head! I can't wait till they start selling them here!
Also is the yoyo that is white with the HG black rims a regular SF HG?, cuz the rims look fatter then a regular HG (at least they look that way in the picture). I held my HG up to my monitor and scratched my head * uh duh* they seem to look fater then my SF HG?
