Hi all, first post, but I've been enjoying this place for years and learned a ton, so thank you, and I hope to give back as I go.
I'm looking for a new case/board for my pedals and I'm hoping you can help me.
I'm currently using a Boss BCB60 after going down the Pedal Train route and realising that solution doesn't work for me.
The Boss case gives me space for the few pedals I need, decent protection, and a light, simple construction, two pieces which are detachable so one side acts as the pedal board.
Problems for me are:
-that stupid front row edge, so I have to lift my foot off the floor to activate a pedal instead of just rocking my foot on my heel to click on a (mostly Boss) pedal. Might sound insignificant but that's how I roll...
-crappy latches
-would like to have something more solid and "flight case"-y
-too much space wasted inside the case.
Does anybody have any thoughts for a better solution, available in the UK?
The size of the Boss case is fine, and I much prefer the 2-part case thing over the board inside a case thing.
Thanks in advance all!

I'm hoping there's an "off the shelf" case out there I haven't found yet, but if I end up having to have something built I'll bear them in mind, appreciate the suggestion
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
The Holey Board is low: http://www.chemistrydesignwerks.com/holeyboards.html
And the ToneTrunk 45 is low too.

Thanks guys for the suggestions!
Like the clean look of the Smorg boards I just searched out
@Fretmeister, the problem I have is the lip on the Boss BCB60, it's like maybe 2 inchs high give or take. Yes, the boards you and the other posters have suggested would solve the problem, but I'm looking for a case that is a board, not a board inside a case.
The Boss case is a 2-piece jobbie, you remove one half, the lid, and the other half of the case is the board. It's just something I personally prefer, I've been down the "separate board with case" route and I prefer the case=board idea

Cheers, I think I agree with you!
I'll keep an eye out, the lip just has to be low, can't be beyond the wit of man
It's not just a preference thing either. Like, the reason Boss pedals are in the middle of the Boss BCB60 is cos if they're any closer to the front of the case you can't engage them, weird...
