One thing Sony could do to differentiate their products is to include a travel/carry case with their mid-range headsets, like they do with their high end models. My old MDR-10RBT came with a soft cover, which I still use for my WH-CH720N. While the soft case is adequate, it was made for a smaller headset, so I am in the market for a new larger hard case. This is not a sponsored post, but I would earn a small commission from any orders from my affiliate links. Here are 3 promising candidates.
LTGEM Hard Travel Case
First up is a case from LTGEM. The case comes in a 2 colours, black and blue, with certain different colour options for the inside. Shame there is no white case, as to complement the white WH-CH720N. The case is described as semi-waterproof, which I am guessing means if you spill water on it, you can wipe it off. But one reviewer did show a photo of a wet interior after a spill, but it did protect the headset. The inside is made from a soft velvet like material.
With the case opened, we can see the headset sits snugly inside the moulded base. There is a space for the 3.5mm cable (although open), and a mesh pocket on the cover for various accessories, like adapters, USB cables, etc. The case will also work with the WH-CH710N, WH-CH520 and WH-CH510. The top of the case has a carrying handle.
Here are some real world photos from customers. Just like in the promo photos, the real life photos show a proper snug fit.
Depending on colour, the case costs around $19 to $21 USD. Prices may vary in your location.

Lebakort Hard Case
Next up is the Lebakort hard case. Unlike the LTGEM case, this model has no moulded interior, but the headphones appear to have a snug fit and should stay in place. The case comes in 2 colours, black and white, with no blue option. The outer material is nylon, with an EVA middle layer, and soft velvet on the inside. The description says the case is waterproof, but one slide also has semi-waterproof, so it might be similar to the previous case where it is spill proof, but should not be soaked.
The inside of the case has a mesh pocket for cables and accessories but you could also try and fit in a small pouch/bag under the headband as well. The top of the case has a carry handle.
There is only one real world photo by user DangGina. From the photo, the quality seems pretty good, with a proper fit of the headphones like seen in the promo photos.
The black version is $17.99 and the white $19.99. Again prices may vary in your location.

XINGFUDAO Hard Case
Finally we have the hard case by XINGFUDAO. This case only comes in black, with a white interior. The materials are the same, durable cloth material on the exterior, EVA middle layer, and a soft velvet interior. Unlike the other 2, there is no carry handle but instead a sling on the top as seen in the photo. The inside has a mesh pocket for storage, but not much else.

Real life photos from Eduardo show a decent product, and a proper fit for the headset. This case does seem wider than the other 2 cases, which could be a deal breaker for some.
This model is available for $19.99 USD.
There were 2 other cases which I looked at but did not include, the first according to user reviews had a strong chemical odour, the ProCase hard case, and the second from XANAD from reviews, looked too small for the WH-CH720N.
Personally I like the Lebakort case the best, but it does not have many reviews, where as the LTGEM case has a lot more reviews and orders. Both seem like great options, so it all depends what colour you want and design.
If anyone has bought a case and is happy with it, please post a link to the case in the comments below.
