Storage Solutions Case for Seagate FreeAgent Go HDD

[Neo-N]

Hi,

I need a case for my FreeAgent Go Portable HDD.

I currently have a local case that was good as I was not carrying my HDD anywhere.

But now I plan to carry it to places & need a better solution.

I need something like this:

This one is available on ebay.com for 9.99 $ Shipped.

But I thought I would ask fellow TE users if there is anything like this available locally.
That way I can avoid hassles of Overseas Shipping & Customs.

There are a few cases available on ebay.in but they appear to be generic cases & I dunno about their quality & if they would fit my drive well.

I do not want a overly premium product. Just something that fits the HDD snugly.

Any help appreciated. Thanx.

This looks decent for the price!

eBay India: Hard Disk Case for Transcend 2.5" Portable USB HDD (item 170560970903 end time 09-Nov-2010 14:53:45 IST)

Do not be overly concerned about them mentioning 'Transcend' in the product listing, I'm sure this will be fine for any 2.5" external HDD. Also, you can always confirm with the seller before your place your order.

Cheers!

^^ Thanx.....

Actually, the Transcend Storejet 2.5" HDD has the USB Slot on the left corner whereas the Seagate Freeagent Go has the slot in the middle. That is my only concern.

I don't want a hole on the case that is misaligned.....

BTW, ur avatar is cool.....

The one shown in pic says water resistant.. But it has a zip in it. How will it protect against water ?

It says "Water Resistant" NOT "Water Proof".....

There is a difference.... Water resistant generally protects from occasional water splashes/drops whereas water proof can protect even when the product is submerged under water....

Got it.. Do post the feedback if you order this one.

 

[Neo-N]

Actually, I want to avoid it as I am looking for something similar locally.

But if I don't get any, I'll have to order it. Will let u know about it then....

BTW, I messaged the seller on ebay.in asking him If I could visit him personally to check the case (shown by R3D-D3V1L)& then buy it from him at same price (Discount not needed).

But he hasn't reverted yet....

[Neo-N]

Wow.... that's cool info.... Thanx.

Repped you.....

BTW, how much did u pay for the 3.5 inch case??

 

[Punker]

thanks for rep.... i got it for arnd Rs.1500 shipped with 3 years warranty....

 

[Neo-N]

^^ Hmmm.....

That's a huge amount to pay for a HDD Case..... I mean, the HDD itself costs 3.5k.....

And as it carries a 5 year warranty, I would rather get it spoiled & get it RMAed....!!! Lolzzz

But thanx neway, Santacruz is closer to my home & I'll try to find the price for my 2.5" drive. It might be less.

2.5" cases are cheaper 3.5" are expensive beacause for 3.5" one's you have to buy a laptop bag..... 2.5" one's are for around 400-500..... call that distributor and ask for prices.... im sure you'll get something around 400-500....

Distri price for PHDC 1 is Rs.695(Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case > Hard Drive Cases > Case Logic).... you can save on shipping by going to him and collecting it personally....

 

[Neo-N]

Now that's more reasonable.....

Will check with the dealer & get one if it fits my requirements.

Thanx Punker & karan_n8

If you look at the other listings of the seller on ebay.in, you'll notice he has put up the same product for Transcend/Seagate/WD. Several months ago, I had ordered one for my Seagate 2.5" and was not least bit disappointed with the case for the price I paid then. (275-150off voucher = Rs. 125/-)
Attached are the snapshots of the case that was sent to me.

OT: Thanks for the comments about my avatar; I just realized I haven't changed it ever since I joined TE quite a few years back!

^^ Hey.... That's a decent case....

Thanx for taking the trouble to put up snaps..... Repped u....

I am definitely buying this one.... BTW, does ur drive rattle/move around in the case causing the drive to get scratched??

Thanx again....

 

[R3D-D3V1L]

^^ My apologies for the delayed response; have been busy traveling of late.

As for the question - No, the drive doesn't rattle/move around thanks to the band (pls. check 2nd image) that secures the disk firmly in its place.

Cheers!
