I've been very happy with Jansport's Pouches. I have the newspaper one. The OP-Z sits perfectly in the upper section's holder and has a pocket for a few cables and such below.

​

Also comes in 🌯Burrito and 💀Day of the Dead.

Fits the OP-Z and original box foam perfectly under the bottom strap and cables can go in the top mesh. It’s probably pretty water resistant, but definitely not waterproof. Worth considering.

You want the larger of the two.

This is available and I currently use it to carry my op-1 and op-z around at the same time, it's quite nice. Has a little bag on the side for cables as well: https://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Engineering-002-XS-801-OP-1-Synthesizer/dp/B00CXSK098/ref=sr_1_3 -- my apologies if it has already been suggested in the thread or your post, just wanted to share what I've been doing/what has worked for me. Best of luck! (edit* It may be a bit "large" for just the op-z, but I still use it for that as well)

Oh wow looks like they got rid of the line in with version 3. Boom 2 and the UE Roll have line-in.

This is the Europort I have -

To deal with the noise I use a ground loop isolator on both OP devices when recording to DAW, removes most of the noise, I bought this one (out of stock now) but I'm sure others will work just as well;

Just check the hermitshell hardcase for anker battery, the larger one. You can throw it safely in a backpack ! And it' cheap !!

It’s the cable. You need this cable. Also, that interface only has a mono line input (ideally for a guitar) so if any of the sounds on the OP-Z are panned or if you’re using stereo effects like chorus or reverb, it won’t sound exactly like it does in your headphones.

I got the Maker Hart Loop Mixer for exactly this: https://www.amazon.com/Maker-Hart-LOOP-MIXER-Portable/dp/B01M68UK38

​

It's small (75% width of the OP-Z, and about twice the height of one), has 5 stereo 3.5mm inputs, separate line out and headphone jack. Requires DC power and no battery, which is the only downside. Perfect for a small desk setup, and very easy to travel with.

Really??? So I can use a splitter to still get audio out and still record line in?

​

I have one of these adapters which works for direct sampling: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OAXHXGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But the limitations of not being able to get audio back out.

​

Do you have a proven working TRSS splitter you can recommend to buy?

I noticed that if I have the gain on the OP-1 from line in anything above 0, it gives feedback noise. I also have been using a noise isolator since I got my OP-Z. I noticed even when plugging into my computer via line-in it buzzes a bit. This has helped a lot.

This looks just like the hard case that has been often recommended, with a slightly different mesh pocket...

Edit: fixed the link to point to the model that the OP-Z actually fits in ("battery pack and charger" fits, "battery" is too small).

I got this one, not a pelican but it is pretty damn beefy. It fits really well, too.

I wonder if has something to do with mono vs. stereo - maybe you need to use an 1/8” to stereo 1/4” cable? This is how I record mine.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you turn up the drum group (hold mixer button at the top and turn green dial)?

Regarding the noise issue when plugged in, it might be worth checking to see if you are experiencing a USB ground loop. Every person's studio setup is different, so verify that there aren't other devices affecting your power supply. I get high pitched USB-related noises periodically in my Eurorack system and purchased a ground loop eliminator to rectify. See also Youtube demo.
