Hey man. I’m from the US but Here’s my recommendation,

A deck saver:
Decksaver DS-PC-OP1 - Teenage Engineering OP1 Protective Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6WFAWX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7Hh1CbJ67NJ2F

A non teenage engineering soft Carrying case:
Soft Carrying Case for Teenage Engineering OP-1 (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078429PN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eJh1CbCBVXT45

I use the deck saver with the teenage engineering carrying case because It came with my OP-1 for free. But the off brand case should fit perfectly with the deck saver to keep your OP-1 nice and snug and secure.

If you search this question in the search bar you will also see people discussing using keyboard cases as well. Could work fine too and a bit cheaper.

Have fun!

I travel a lot, and even though the OP-1 does not feel fragile, I was still worried about it. I usually stuff it inside my backback next to some other stuff, and even though I always take it into the cabin, the backback sometimes takes a beating.

So I decided to buy the original softcase, and although it's quite expensive, I love it. Yes, it's not slim and it adds quite a bit of thickness to your OP-1, but it has super soft pillows inside and I have no doubt it will protect the OP-1 if my backback gets thrown around. Plus, I love the little pouch it has, I stuffed the USB cable and a stereo jack cable in there, and it's been great when I'm doing stuff on the go!

great! so just to be sure this case https://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/teenage-engineering-op-1-soft-case

fits op1 + this https://www.amazon.com/Decksaver-DS-PC-OP1-Teenage-Engineering-Protective/dp/B01M6WFAWX

​

sounds like the best option to me - appreciate it :)

I just got a generic 3.5mm antenna from Amazon for $5 which works great. Although from what I can tell, just having headphones plugged in works just as well.

I also invested in the T.E. screen protector.. $15 to help protect the screen of a $900 instrument seems like a no-brainer. I've heard the screen can scratch easily, though that may have just been older models, I'm not sure.

All the time, it really works well as an effects unit / looper for guitar or any other instrument for that matter.

It’s good to run something like this between the guitar and the synth to get a strong clean signal:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E58SW3U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IVpYAb6JS8Q6T

I use this carrying case. It seems better (and cheaper) than the TE offering.

While in the case, I also use the decksaver. Better safe than sorry.

I haven't gotten this tiltable stand yet, but have my eye on it. Useful for G Force LFO, perhaps?

[This Bluetooth speaker also has a line input and is what I use for the OP-1 around the house. The bass sound makes up for the joke of a speaker on the synth.](https://smile.amazon.com/GGMM-Wireless-Bluetooth-Powerful-Enhanced/dp/B01M8NAN59/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1526836517&sr=1-1&keywords=GGMM%2BE5%2BWireless%2BSpeaker%2BBluetooth%2BSpeaker%2C%2BPowerful%2BSound%2BEnhanced%2BBass%2B15%2BHours%2BPlaying%2BTime%2C%2BHands%2BFree%2BCalling%2Bwith%2BUSB%2BCharging%2BPort%2B(Black)

Cute.

Stereo to double mono splitter, so when I plug into an audio interface or mixer I've got some options.

This case is awesome and I feel protects the op-1 better than the soft case. Recently flew with it and it was fine.

I got a traktor X1 case online that was about exactly the right size to hold an OP-1 in one half, and then i put a piece of cardboard on top of it and put a po-12, audio recorder and cables in the top half. It was pretty cheap and it's perfect for me.

I have a couple of suggestions that i think would work great as they are both durable and cheap:
this JAM rewind is literally the size of two iphones 5 stacked, the quality is surprisingly good for its price range.
And this JBL flip 3 , the size on this is like a bottle, it fits in most backpack's side pocket

PS: you will need a jack cable for both of these as its not included

I got this after seeing how much the official cases were gonna cost.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/UDG-Creator-Hardcase-Protector-U8410BL/dp/B0055CKNE6

The op-1 rattles around inside it a little, but I added a very small amount of padding from another case I had and now it fits snug. I was worried it would not be sturdy but it's been good.

For the money, I'm very happy and padding it out was simple

Waveshare sh1106, off Amazon. Driving it with the luma display library.

Regarding the fx, I just got a pisound which is fantastic for that sort of thing. MODEP is really cool, I've been using it to put fx on my guitar to record into the op-1 track.

Thanks! I found this on Amazon for $22, but with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/SRA-Cases-Aluminum-Black-Inches/dp/B00NPZ28KM/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1484671500&sr=8-13&keywords=sra+case

Just ordered one.

Table top is a free find on craigslist.
One of these old style folding tables:

You could also get one for the 1/4in jack instead, mine was $8 on amazon and works great:

is there a mic/line option on your interface? maybe it's set to the wrong one... how much input gain do you have dialed on the interface? perhaps it's up too high. those are my thoughts.. i also use a cheap noise isolator from amazon, and it's working perfect over here.

I use one of these and it works great.

>I don’t need a case that expensive lol.

Yo - check this out. I bought one, and it fits too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EY7WAH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a backorder from MOMA store that I made in February (because I’m a member so get 20% discount AND I had a $100 gift card to use), MOMA was estimating them to be in stock today but I have a sinking feeling that I’ll still be waiting a long time and wish I could just hit that buy now button on Amazon! 😞

I got this:

​

I also got the decksaver, which I use when I leave my OP-1 on my desk. The case itself has pretty decent protection.

Oh, and I grabbed this antenna from Amazon because 20 bucks is ridiculous. ENUODA 3.5mm FM Radio Antenna for Mobile Cell Phone 8.5cm/21cm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0185KMVOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qC6BybBASNDN0

It works great and it was 5 bucks and some change

Ground loop isolator helps. Like this one:
Mpow Ground Loop Noise Isolator for Car Audio / Home Stereo System with 3.5mm Audio Cable (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019393MV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PYJYzbN0G2NCX

Do get one of these:

Mine was super noisey.. to the point where I was thinking about getting rid of it, but that cleared it right up.

VISM by NcStar Rangebag Insert/Black (CV2904B) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OLU5HC/

I like to use these bags for my electronics, as they have a lot of squishy padding. Turns out it’s just the right size for the OP-1!

That can be prevented with a ground loop isolator on the OP-1 output.

I've had laptops and cell phones make that noise while charging as well, but the OP-1 does have a pretty loud whine.

I recommend all Lisa and gals pick this up

Exactly. something like this would work

It’s a Pelican 1085 case that goes for about $60. You cut the foam yourself, I’d recommend using a brand new razor blade.

I've heard that these work wonders for the output:

how would i connect this interface to the op1?

do i just need an aux cable?

Here's the link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CXSJUZS/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item

Hi there. Get one of these....

https://www.amazon.com/UDG-U8410BL-Creator-Hardcase-Protector/dp/B0055CKNE6

I love TE but the price for the op-1 case is a bit OTT. This one is cheaper and more sturdy. All you have to do is cut a tiny amount of foam from one of the edges.

I should add that this fits the deck saver too, and that it frequently pops up on OP-1 forums.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EY7WAH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this one fits too! cheaper, not as nice though

If it's a short run to the mixer you can get away with unbalanced connection, but at least grab one of these to eliminate the ground loop. Also, no charging while playing!

Case on Amazon $23 shipped

Custom cut foam from MyCaseBuilder.com $32 shipped

This thing fixed my OP-1 Noise problems. https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Ground-Isolator-Stereo-System/dp/B019393MV2

I believe it has more to do with the impedance of the OP-1's output and the impedance of the other device's input. For an example - listen to the the OP-1 with cheap, low impedance headphones and you'll hear a ton of noise. Now listen to the OP-1 using a pair of quality high impedance headphones and you won't hear any noise.

There can me some hum/noise from the output when you have the USB connected, but there is a simple fix for that - a ground loop isolator.

This devices solves alot of the OP-1 noise problems.

Your seller "just launched" (just opened) their account:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00CXSJUZS/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Amazon has one listing for every product, and multiple sellers for that product. That's why there are reviews.

Any merchant fulfilled seller can claim that they have stock. That's how this scam works. They say they have it, but they don't.

This is a classic scam.
