Speaking of bulky Metal Case...
On "the Auction site" is a Rollei Marin that supposedly has never seen
underwater action, just sat in a Polish Museum: No. 174061538558
I use the ERC if I take noting but the Rolleiflex (3.5E or SL66), but either go
in a separate padded compartment without the ERC, just the strap, when I take a
larger camera bag.
My favorite minimalist compact camera backpack is a Vanguard Havana 41
<https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1282505-REG/vanguard_havana_41bl_havana_41_backpack_blue.html>.
It holds the Rolleiflex and a 35mm rangefinder or mirrorless digital camera
with two lenses in the bottom padded compartment

Hi John:
I agree with you about the Metal Case, however, whilst I accept
it's more practical to use the TLR without the ERC,, the EERC is useful to
keep the camera external conditions along the years and it's the reason I use
the ERC. Harry Fleenor, the Rollei technician, had a page in his website
where he said he found the Rollei TLR that used the ERC along the years
were always in better general condition than the cameras did not use it (It
seems this page in the Harry's website about which Rollei to buy is a PDF
download for $10 now). I can see my 2,8C leather cover is almost perfect
after almost 70 years of use thanks to to the ERC use.
