Altieri makes some excellent case covers that fit the Buffet double case
very nicely. Even after 3 years of daily use by my son it still looks
almost as good as new - nothing has come apart or torn. It gets pretty
cold up in norther lower Michigan, too :^)

The Altieri is fleece lined. I have no idea if that really helps,
though.
