Teenage Engineering CA-X Silicon Pro-Case for Pocket Operators with Built-in Battery Protection and Anti-Slip Feet (Blue).

The Teenage Engineering Silicone Pro-Case is a must-have for any Pocket Operator, and it’s especially perfect for my PO-128 Mega Man edition. First off, the fit is spot-on—it snaps snugly onto the Pocket Operator and instantly makes it feel more solid and professional. (Just snap the tag. I know it hurts but do it.) Without the case, the Pocket Operator can feel a bit fragile, but the official case eliminates that worry entirely. It makes it feel like a finished product.What really impressed me is how much it improves the overall experience. The silicone adds just the right amount of grip and weight, so it doesn’t slip out of my hands during a jam session. Plus, the button overlays are a game-changer (pun intended). They make it easier to hit the controls precisely without accidentally pressing the wrong one—a big deal when you’re juggling beats and effects on the fly.This case doesn’t mess with the aesthetic. In fact, the muted silicone actually complements the design, giving it a sleeker and more polished look. It even makes the Pocket Operator feel more like an instrument and less like a calculator from the ‘80s (though I love that retro vibe). I've tried other cases like the acrylic one (which looks beautiful and really displays the PO's PCB design, but the plastic buttons just don't feel as responsive.) Also this case doesn't sacrifice the portability.Pro Tip: If you’re like me and you love taking your Pocket Operator on the go, this case is a lifesaver. It adds enough durability to toss it into a bag without worrying about bending the board or scratching the screen.Final thoughts: It’s hard to believe such a small upgrade could make such a big difference, but this case is worth every penny. Whether you’re a Mega Man fan or just want to protect and enhance your Pocket Operator, this case is essential.

This case is awesome and adds a good bit of protection. It didn’t allow the myvolts pots and pans to fit but I was able to reshape the front plate with a dremel so I could still use it. Price is a little steep for what it is, but I have no doubt it will last longer than the PO.

So clean. And fits like a glove.

It's a bit of a pain to get on properly and doesn't really fit snugly, but the case works for what it needs to well enough. There's a bit of a weirdness where you have to snap off the hang tag from the Pocket Operator, but after getting over the dissonant moment, my kid was eager to use her pocket operator.

The only downside, that is super easy to get over, is breaking the hanger off to fit these. Part of me loves that hanger but these cases are worth it for the protection they offer. The back of them are still open so you can easily get to the batteries. And they don't mess with the sound at all. Best affordable cases for the POs.

I think this is hands down about the chapest way to get a real sampler

Ok, so Teenage Engineering makes some interesting little devices. The one I bought this case for is a TE Speak... Yes first of all you should know it does fit ANY of the current or past Pocket Operators. The buttons might not be labeled correctly - I am not sure but you can figure that out. I love the color and that it protects my TE-PO, that said WHY DO I NEED TO SPEND $30 on a $120 device on day one?? Though the device is neat and the case is good to have, I just feel really taken advantage of by TE, selling me circuit board when so many other vendors give you a whole dang product for your money... It is a decent case but very over priced, but there is no alternative so... whatcha gonna do...

Is it just me or could these have easily been a bit better? I guess the tabs on the POs are supposed to come off, but I still like to have my stand on, which it actually provides for fairly well. It doesn't protect the screen and it doesn't protect the back. Maybe I wouldn't care so much if the POs weren't so hard to come by and great for just pulling out of your backpack to play with for a bit.
