Indeed, but none of the cases specify the RC Pro "Smart" controller. They all tout the the RC Pro controller and I believe there is a difference. One case seen even explicitly states it will NOT fit the RC Pro Smart Controller, only the RC Pro Controller.

Check GPC if they don't have the exact type. Just email them

Thanks everyone. My memory didn't serve me well. The Smart controller was actually D/C'd and predates the newer RC Pro Controller which is what I actually have. I shouldn't have an issue finding any number of cases now.

I use one from Lykus, that works well with the M3P and RC, also accommodates Battery and other accessories. Available from Amazon, and probably other suppliers.

Check out Smatree, they have nice cases with the right cutouts at a reasonable price. I got mine on Amazon.

I was going t suggest Lykus. Nice cases. I have one that takes MA2 or Air2 plus accessories including both the standard controller and original smart controller (at the same time).

I bought this one because you don't have to fold the drone up to fit in the case. Its great for quick set up and fly scenarios.

Thank you kindly. I really do like that concept but I am unsure if will fit the RC pro controller.

A buddy of mine has the same case and uses that same controller you mention, and it fits just fine. It is a split-level case, so if you look at the photos to the side of the initial image, you can see how well it fits. He loves this case!

Well thank you. I may just have to buy it after having bought another hardshell case already. It works but seems to really clamp down on the controller which has to be put in face down and I don't care to have to remove the sticks each time it's stowed. I also love the fact your case doesn't require folding the drone.

There is one outstanding question. (??) I do have some small foldable support feet mounted to my mini pro. They fold partially up, but even folded they will add about an inch to the front arms downward at the prop end. Do you feel the drone can be laid in with legs extended into the molded contours and still seat reasonably well and that there would be enough play or room for the case to be closed securely without undue pressure to do so?

You could modify the top part of the case by creating small holes where the legs rest. In my opinion it would work because small cutouts wouldn't create an issue for the security of the drone itself. The material is easy to cut out, because I have personally modified my case to accommodate my controller with an iPad mini holder attached. [ I didn't want to be taking it off and on repeatedly]

Thank you kindly I'm afraid the whole question is mute now. It's not available to be shipped to the US according to Amazon.
