I've seen one of these before on a leather case...As you know, they're designed to protect the leather on a case from the bumps and grinds that come when traveling.
I have a gun case that's in great shape and would like to keep it that way, even though I would likely use a hard plastic case that I have in most travel situations.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I would think there might be a good source for others that I could consider.
Thanks!

Get a case cover that has a soft lining on the inside. I found out the hard way that w / the single ply canvas like fabric case covers the leather case underneath will still pick up significant marks.

My wife ended up making a liner for my single ply cover out of green padded quilted cotton material & stitched it in place. It looks professional & saves the leather case.

I had the option of ordering the case cover w/a liner originally when I ordered the the case from Emmebi but opted for the single ply thinking it would be enough protection. It isn't!

To disguise what my case holds I use a oversized baseball equipment soft case. To really sell the misdirection I even have a old bat in one of the side pockets sticking out. Countless people have seen my case and just decided I was going to a indoor batting cage nearby or just one more old guy trying to play softball and drink beer.

Keep an eye out on EBay, I have picked up two different covers over the years at good prices.

spring,

If all else fails you can try ordering a case cover direct from Emmebi. I looked at their webpage & you can order the covers by the model # of the case or by dimensions.

I ordered a case + cover in 2015 from them & they were easy to work with & everything went smoothly. Quality of their top cases is not what you would get with a British best gun but still pretty good. Price of the case cover w/o the padded lining was 190 euro at that time. so it will not be inexpensive.

The only downside to their padded cover is that they use foam for the padding which in my experience (not w/ Emmebi) but other similar stuff will break down w/age. I think the quilted fabric liner with cotton batting padding I had added to my case cover will last much longer.

You also might try getting an Emmebi dealer to order it for you. John Boyd was importing them at one time so he may be able to help you.
