Robalo,
Having 'knocked' a '259 around a bit over the years, a carrying case is NOT a bad idea. A 'hard' case protects more than a 'soft' case, which is good if you are not always 'graceful' in the knocking around thingy. The 'perfect' carrying case would be something that's sort of 'firm' instead of 'hard', if that makes sense? Don't bother asking, cuz if I knew I'd have one my self. If you figure out where to find them, or if you design your own, I'd be interested!
