So I got my FB 2 a week ago. Really like it so far. BUT: there’s no kick stand, no magnet etc. All it can do is lie flat on a table. Does anyone know of a case for it, original or 3rd party? A quick internet search gave this:
I have some vague memory that lonnie mac hung a sandal on the wall and kept it in there. If so, he has a picture. If not, I'll blame it on hallucinations....again.
My gear:
22 Weber Kettle
Napoleon PRO Charcoal Kettle Grill
Broil King Keg
Traeger Pro 34
Napoleon Prestige Pro 500
Pit Barrel Cooker
Blackstone Range Combo Griddle
According to the FireBoard (in their Facebook group) they are shooting for midsummer (or perhaps as late as mid-August) to have a magnetic case available.
Thanks, will be interesting to see what price tag they put on it. I love the FB products, but their accessories tend to be a bit expensive. We'll see :-)

A minimalist case for the FireBoard 2. Printed at 100% scale, this case fits snugly around my FB2. There is also a lid available here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4514792
Three versions are available; print whichever one suits you. I've added magnets to all styles, details below.
One with the FireBoard logo embossed (if FireBoard contacts me to remove, I will)
One without the FireBoard logo embossed
One with a 52mm cavity in the center to accommodate a large magnet
For the one with a large magnet cavity in the design, I used Harbor Freight #96651 - 50mm round magnet. The magnet can be glued in place, but it isn't necessary since it remains captive behind the FB2 unit itself. This magnet provides plenty of pull and I find that it holds my FB2 in place easily on vertical surfaces. I think I'd still trust the one with a magnet cavity more just because I'd rather not rely upon glue.
For the other two with no specific magnet cavity, I used Harbor Freight #67488 - rare earth magnets. These are tiny little magnets that are very strong for their size. I found that by gluing five of these to the back of the case, it holds on a vertical surface. Using six would provide even more security.
Their tiny readout on the original (which is now resolved) and their piss poor solution to a waterproof case were two of the complaints I had with the OG unit. I can't for the life of me understand how a simple plastic case with magnets can't be offered standard. Everyone else does it.
Exactly! How can they not offer a simple kick stand or similar? Selling an overpriced case in August seems like a bad idea.Will see if I can't get that 3D print thingy done.

After I received mine a couple weeks ago I thought the same thing. I really don’t want to put any magnetic tape on the back. I seem to always have a table close to where I’m cooking but a case with a strap like the old one had would be nice.
