    For those who recently purchased the new Renner Touchweight Device that you might have seen in Reno, I thought it should have come with a case (it doesn't) but I found this on Amazon which works perfectly and inexpensive.

    Yes I did.  Yet to see how useful it is for me as I set front weights by calculation rather than measure each note.  But I do need to take various samples across the keyset to determine the trendline curve and the accompanying data points for each note so it will save me some time.  Also nice for checking an action to see basically where it is.  You can then compare that with the general lead pattern to see if it falls within some range of normal.  Basically, it's a time saving device.  One can still do it the old fashioned way with gram weights, certainly.  It's not cheap but has some benefits.  Over time might pay for itself, otherwise a nice toy.  

    But I thought it did need a protective case and this one works quite well.
