Magic Keyboard and packing it for travel

Thanks... yes, but perhaps you didn't read the question fully. My question was looking for recommendations FOR a cover.

I've found one but 99% of those I could find on Amazon are soft covers or leather, and my experience with these is that they will still likely allow keys to be depressed [ I've got a backpack sheath that protects but still allows this; I was more hunting for one like the one I've found here in Australia that has a firm outer shell that keeps the keys isolated well from pressure from outside contact - like the original Apple packaging. I only found 2 anywhere that have this kind of construction, and apart from one made for the Logitech MX, none others on Amazon. The one here through Auspower I'm likely to buy or one on Alipay.

there is no on/off switch on an Apple Magic Keyboard 2 [A1843] stedman1.

if you mean on the MBP - well yes there is - but as I said, sometimes I need to work with the keyboard stored [say] and the MK is sending a repeat keystroke. I've had this happen when the keyboard is somewhere around the house in a backpack or similar.

Another problem is the any-key-touch startup default for the MBP which is one of the most braindead implementations I've witnessed on a Mac [I've been using them since 1984] given that you can't disable this, so then if the keyboard is being triggered, it will keep making the MBP wake from sleep mode [since now it's on] and the **** thing will heat up something fierce in my backpack. Excuse the rant but it's part of what has me trying to find a touch-free case for the keyboard.

ouch- [blush]! well omg look at that.... my humble apologies, I've not ever noticed this. A massive assumption on my part, prob since none previous of the external kbds had one.

that fixes everything - would explain the proliferation of soft covers.

thanks muchly.

oh my. this site does my head in - now I've made your post the "best answer" which seems not undoable. With respect, your answers are far from the solution, nor on point in my humble opinion.

I asked for suggestions FOR a cover. Your first reply suggested a cover.

hard shells with soft insides are what I meant. there are plenty around for portable mac devices and that's still what I'd prefer since my experience is that the more one applies pressure to the keys [as the neoprene and leather ones inadvertently do] the more one tends to see failures in keys in my experience. I've owned upwards of 50 keyboards across the years and those that don't travel [and get this kind of pressure] or see less use almost invariably suffer less from dead keys.
