   It's funny though, sometimes I think the K3 should have some kind of
   hardshell cover for the front panel.  Then you could transport it
   without having to worry about banging up the fragile controls and LCD.
   Not that I transport the rig much... I guess I just think it would be
   cool to have a snap-on or hinged panel cover.

I tried to get one made at my local TAP Plastics (El Cerrito), but the
fellow there didn't seem to be able to get it the right size, even with
my leaving the K3 with him.

I'd like to have such an item.
One of the few advantages of some of the Japanese-manufactured rigs is
that the front panel is removable, so the heavy part can be separated
from the fragile part.
