VanNuys case for the Sony NW-WM1 series of DAP. Quite clever, really. It's not truly a pouch in that it's two padded Cordura panels held together by velcroed straps on either side and a leather base.
This allows access to the button without needing to remove the player. And the leather base has cut-outs for the charging cable. It's really more like a tough wrap than a pouch but it's very secure and great for hanging from your bag or a belt.

The leather hanger is from another Japanese brand, Herz, which hand makes really awesome leather goods. Will start adding/replacing bits with brown matching leather over time to personalise it.

Update

Case is still going strong. Have personalised it with my own leather strap stamped with a character from my Chinese name.
It still hangs from my leather tote every day. Case is still awesome and now holds the WM1A in a Fatbear case.

For those who enjoy cheap vs. expensive back pack comparisons, Buzzfeed’s “Worth It” series posted a video on YouTube several months back:

I saw this product on another thread, liked it, and sharing it on this thread now:

They also have other cases and bags that look very nifty.

I recently heard about H. Gerstner and Sons wooden tool cases, which are pricey, but also have two transportable boxes and charging stations that could house most over-ear headphones, smaller desktop DACs and amps, IEMs, and portable DACs and amps:

@Quasimodosbelfry
could you recommend a bag close to the chest where just a dap + iem fits in?
i started a thread, hoping to find something appropriate.

I use an AER Day Sling 3 for my day to day EDC.

Been a year and a half of heavy daily use and the waterproof zippers' waterproof seal has started delaminating. Bag is still great but the main zip looks a mess. Thinking of getting an Alpaka sling next.

I use Tom Bihn stuff, also Tom Bihn Ghost Whales for my Ksc75.

VanNuys makes a panel that you can hang accessories on. The panel can subsequently be hung or slung for you to take everything out in one convenient carrier.

Got a new case for the WM1AM2. Looks exactly like the old one except the dimensions are taller to accommodate the M2 DAPs.

VanNuys also makes these leather belt attachments so the cases can be slung to a belt.
