My KX3 travel case is a LowePro camera case I
happened to have for a camera system I sold, the
Nova 170 AW. My current camera system fits in my
second Nova 170 AW :-)

The KX3 fits in vertically and perfectly. It also
holds antenna, paddle, a small brick power supply,
a 6 A-hr Li-ion battery I have etc. I've not
tried to fit the PX3 in this case yet.
Well padded, has a water-proof cover, etc. Fits
like it was made for the KX3.
