Carrying Case for Passport Ultra 3TB

Most of the neoprene and hard cases I find on the WD site don’t seem to be able to fit the 3TB drive (thicker than smaller capacity Passport Ultras).

When I go to the Passport Ultra product page and try to follow the link to cases I get “page not found”.

I called WD Support, got a non-native english speaker who kept pointing me to cases that wouldn’t fit.

I opened a support call, response (bunch of canned text) again points me to cases that won’t work.

Anyone know the part/model # for either a soft or (preferrably) hard case that will work with a Passport Ultra 3TB?

Hello,

See if the following links helps
http://store.wdc.com/store/wdus/en_US/DisplayAccesoryProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.40718400/Accessories/My_Passport_Soft_Case_Blue/productID.224371200/categoryId.13095700

Depending on the model number of your drive, you should be able use either one of those cases. See if the model number for your drive is listed for those cases.

“depending on the model number of your drive” - well duh! That’s the problem!

Like I said, I have a Passport Ultra 3TB

Surely someone (at WD?) knows what cases will fit (if any)

My model is WDBBKD0030BBK

Neither of the links suggested above list it among their “Compatible with below My Passport portable drives”

In fact, the lists for both cases seem to have older model numbers for My Passport Ultra (WDBMWVxxxx)

The product list page at All Products: Shop Hard Drives, SSDs, USBs, & Memory Cards | Western Digital suggests a “Nomad case” WDBGRD0000NBK but specs only show external dimensions, not internal, and I can’t find a list of compatible drives.

Product info page for my drive All Products: Shop Hard Drives, SSDs, USBs, & Memory Cards | Western Digital shows a neoprene case at the bottom but when you click “buy now” you get a page that says “Product data is unavailable. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.”

You need to note the dimensions from the product specs, and head over to Amazon and start looking around for something that will fit. That’s what I did for the fat 2TB Passport Wireless. The brand I ended up buying was Drive Logic for my MPW and larger battery banks. $10.
