I recently bought a Vectrex cover from someone at the AA forum. It is homemade, made of fake leather, has a nice liner and is ABSOLUTELY fantastic! It fits perfectly, looks fantastic and was very reasonably priced!
So... I'm posting a link to the AA forum thread here (http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/151821-game-console-covers-revisted/page__st__100) (be warned, the thread itself is a little confusing to read, but worth it). I am not related to the seller in any way, shape or form. Just a 100% satisfied customer. The price was $23.50 and the shipping to Canada was 5-something. Very reasonable! :)
I've included some pics:
Here is the cover on the Vectrex:

Here is my slipping the cover off, it fits well. Nice and snug but not too tight:

Here is the empty cover sitting next to my Vectrex:

It looks a little wrinkled now, but it was packed pretty tight. My wife said we could (carefully) iron it, but I'm happy to leave it and see if the wrinkles come out by themselves.
The seller that made it (I think) is a grandmother with some serious crafting skills. Her nickname online is "nanny's sewing treats". At one point on AA, they mentioned selling these to supplement their income, so I thought I'd post this here. Vectrex owners here can get a great product for a great price, and the seller gets a few extra bucks :)
I don't think that posting a link to an AA thread in this subforum is a violation of any rules. If it is, I apologize!
edit: someone else is so pleased with his, he made a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkhJYORRDxI) LOL He must have ironed his because it's a smoother than mine.
