Felt Dust Covers

Artsutanav · 2022-10-29T14:56:00.759Z

Is anyone using these Felt Dust Covers?

I’m not a fan of the plastic types available from Elektron or Decksaver, as I’m slightly concerned they’ll wear the corners.

But also concerned these Felt ones might scratch the screens and also counter to the point be more of a dust magnet/collector.

Cheers!

For my needs that looks useless as a protective cover for transporting gear and it also seems at least as much dust collector as dust cover.

I have one of those in use for my AH (from another vendor though, it seems - bought mine here: Felt Lab Synth Cover for Elektron Digitone | Reverb).
The one i have is very soft on the bottom (i.e. the side that touches my precious AH), while on top it appears to have been sealed somehow - the top is a bit harder and feels somehow “glued”.
It does a great job keeping dust away from the device, although if kept at an angle, the back (where there’s no cover) obviously will get dusty.

I heard a musician once say

Yeah my gear is dusty, that’s how you know I use it.

I agree with the deck savers marking the gear, and I was going to consider those felt ones on Etsy…

But depending on the brand, sometimes they make zippered covers for device specific gear…. Like Moog.

For Elektron boxes, it seems like a handkerchief is actually a good option… and you can rep your click by flying colors!

I have several Felt Lab covers for DN, DT, Keystep 37 and Microcosm. I think they look great, keep the dust away and don’t scratch anything. Only downside is that DN and DT covers became a bit bent on the edges over time, but not a big problem to me.
