I had to get a travel mando from Sam Ash the other day but they didn't have *any* mandolin cases - I had to carry it home on the back seat of my car.
However, I didn't leave the store without some case: I noticed that the Ukulele cases were about mandolin-sized, so I bought one (they gave me a slight discount) and the pictures show the results. I hacked away at the foam and turned it into a not-so-bad mando case.
The last step will be finding some thin black cloth that I can cover the white flaking styrofoam to keep it under control and make getting the mando in and out smoother.
But the fit is fine and it is very nicely protected.
Something to remember the next time you can't find a mando case.
