Bag/case for Mini 3?

Is there already a bag or case for the mini 3? And if yes, what are your favorite? Hardcase is my first option.
The Apache 3800 is the hard case I use for my Mini 2. I actually got a case with the Mini 2 FMC but I don't use it for the Mini2, but for my FPV VR goggles. I have a small bag that I can stuff all the essentials into and throw it over my shoulder, or for more stuff I use the case that came with my Mavic 2.

If you're creative and carry a lot of accessories, cables and the like the 3800 is a fantastic size. It comes with pick-n-pluck foam but if you can score some foam blanks (I could only get soft foam at a price) and have a good knife a case like the 3800 has the potential of creating layers. My 3800 can pack the Mini 2 controller either face up on on the side as shown. Face down I can leave the sticks on.

Edit: Just last year I bought the 3800 for $28 at Harbor Freight tools. Today when I looked for the link the price had risen to $45! I was dumbfounded at the price difference. I found the identical case at a company called "Newark" for $25. Here is the link Link to Newark hard case
For $50 or so I'm sure you will soon be able to find hard cases customized for the Mini 3. The thing is that when I get a Mini 3 in a few months my 3800 should handle it without much if any modification.

The small case is 8"x7"x3.5" and is very light. When I need more protection in a soft case I use the Mavic 2 bag. The Mini 2 bag is thicker and heavier and offers a bit more support than the Tamrac bag shown. There are similar camera bags without a "brand name" that are cheaper, but I have so many camera bags and this one was just laying around. I have other suitable bags that I picked up some years ago at Kmart that were under $10 that I could use- and may with the Mini 2.

Good evening.
I use a Lowepro bag with a lot of protection and comodies, the quality of which is no longer to be demonstrated. This is the reference stealth reporter 300W.

That's a lot of bag for a Mini.

I took a shot of the Mavic 2 bag with the Mini 2 w/controller, battery pack and accessories (not loaded in the pocket) to show an excellent option. Because the Mavic 2 controller is much smaller than the new "standard" controller (and Mini 3 SC) I can pack my MAVIC 2 essentials in the same bag. If you can score one of these from someone who has/had a M2 flymore bag, 8"x5"x9"H. I traveled the East Coast (US) with this bag and Mavic 2 Pro and was very content with it, even with the heavier drone.

Thank you guys. Ofcourse i know there are a lot of bags and cases, but most of them are currently not deliverable in a short time. And i need one for my trip next week... so that's why i ask the question here. I checked amazon and only find one with a delivery time of 2 days. 😑

Does a mini 1 or mini 2 case fit with the mini 3 ?
Something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5131+1iGZzL._AC_SY1000_.jpg

The Mini 3 bag that comes in the Flymore is the same as the Mini 2, though it's not really a great fit because the Mini 3 battery charging station is more square, so you either want to have the batteries loose or have the awkward fit.
