Title: Soft-bag Cosmetic Beauty Case as storage for DMM and Current Clamp Sensor
Post by: Kiriakos GR on February 03, 2026, 05:56:23 PM
I was looking for a economic soft-case as storage for my new headband magnifier, and I fall at dimensions mismatch. ???

I was searching the local market, and I did the discovery that soft-bags aiming the application of Cosmetic Beauty Case, these are lower priced.  ;)
An identical soft case this presented as storage box for a medical device, this was 400% more expensive.

The Chinese marketing, this dictates the retail price of an identical product.  :P

Either way, my local find of 9.99 € this be on sale 400m away from my workshop, this now serving as storage box for my DE208A DMM.
DE-208A DMM along it dedicated AC/DC DE-711 Clamp Sensor, they are now at the year 2026 finally together.

I though to share few photographs, as food for thought to my readers.  :)

Note: This product, it has bottom and upper padding, but I consider it as for indoor use only, 100% polyester.

Excellent transformation  ;)

With a few added tweaks it this case, now it does serve as DMM storage !!

As far I remember, DE-208A this is the Taiwanese FLK 87V.
This be more smart made, by having also an extremely accurate AC/DC mV range, accurate measurement from a single mV.
Along IR communication port (data logging).

Yes DE-208A this is a top dog, better than all Brymen.
But this is more a tool for bench work, top-mask over the LCD, this is of soft nylon.
I placed a screen protector on top, since the first day.

Functions buttons they are small and soft.
In the positive side of things, all the materials on it, they did not shown any aging issues up to date (This came at summer of 2012).
At measuring performance, still super accurate and stable.
