APM 2 cases now available, also come free with new APM 2s

Good news: the 3D Robotics store is now offering custom-molded cases for APM 2, in both top-pin and side-pin variety. They're $4.99 each. All new APM 2s now ship with these cases, included free!

They're smokey semi-transparent, so you can see the LEDs through the case. The button on the top connects to the APM 2 reset button.

Those cases look really great, it protects the AMP2 and it’s much better to mount anywhere with Double Sided Foam Tape to protect against vibrations.

Hard luck, I had to make my own, what about cases for 3DR Radios?

Dany: It's mostly for protection. Doesn't affect GPS as far as we've been able to measure. Yes, you do use double-sided tape (or velcro) to secure it to your frame. It's got a nice flat bottom, so that's easy.

Manfred: cases for the 3DR radios will be coming in a few weeks.

I guess I'll wait for the 3DR cases and hopefully wait till the EU version of the telemetry kit become available again, and then will order all the 3 together. Too bad the e-commerce software doesn't allow to start buying products that are not in stock and have to rely on the email notification.

Cool, I've just seen you now added the possibility to order even if not available... Will the 3DR cases will be just for radios, or will it be a case that contains both APM and radio? Also it seems the case doesn't have the hole for the 3DR pins.

Ah good!  I was just starting to wonder when these were going to be available!

The cases for the radios will be nice too!

@Manfred: that's a really nice case!  CNC Aluminum?  I made an APM1 aluminum case a few months ago.  I actually like it, it provided some mass to the thing which helped with a vibration damping system.
