Smallest possible hard-shell protective case for just the Mavic Mini by itself. Now when I go hiking with my fanny pack, I can slip this in and it can't take up any less space. Plus it looks pretty darn cool.
This case truly "fits like a glove". There is virtually no movement inside when you gently shake the closed case. I designed it so that the drone rests on it's "belly" surface inside the case. There is no contact with the gimbal protector, and no weight bearing on the rotors underneath. No padding is necessary since nothing moves.
To "trap" the lower props, I put the drone on the table upside-down and arrange the bottom props and then lower the case down onto the drone before picking the whole thing up and turning it back over. Then arrange the props on the top and put the lid into place.
The Lid "clicks" lightly on with the protruding, tabs. In this case, "protruding" means, "take care or you'll snap them off". With any degree of care, the tabs should last and last.
