Is such an elaborate carrying case necessary? To carry my KX1 around, I use a plastic toolbox I bought on sale at Ace for 5 bucks. To cushion the KX1, I set it on some of the pink bubble wrap that Elecraft used to package the kit.

This works pretty well, and there's plenty of room in the toolbox for tools, a battery pack or small AC supply, the antenna, headphones, etc.

73!

I also use a Pelican case to house my KX1 when travelling. However I use a larger 1060 model.

In order to prevent my KX1 from bouncing around in the case, I bought a black kneeling pad at the dollar store and cut it with a utility knife so that it would fit in the case. I then cut out a a hole so my KX1 fits into. This prevents it from moving around. I have room for a key, extra batteries and a wire antenna.

Here is the link to a pic of my set-up.
