I recently bought a couple of chess sets for the school. They were all
inclusive - triple weighted pieces, board and bag with pockets for
pieces and a clock. The board and pieces are decent but the cases have
turned out to be a disappointment. They are pretty cheaply put together
and the zipper broke on one of them after 2 weeks.

I have been all over the net trying to find a decent travel case which
wont fall apart. They all seem rather overpriced. Rather than buy some
high priced POS and then be disappointed I thought that maybe some folks
on here would have some suggestions for a good case. Have you bought
anything which you were particularly pleased with? Where did you buy it?
Maybe not a chess case but possibly an alternative?

The excalibur bag has been great. It has a great compartment for everything
including your clock.

I've gotten good use out of a 2-1/2 inch cardboard mailing tube for many
years. Only costs about three bucks. Doesn't handle the clock though.
