Is there a wheel that is available that doesn't require cutting the corner of the case?

I've used stock wheeled electronic keyboard cases and just changed the interior foam padding around.

Thanks for the tips. I think I've found what I'm looking for.

t has been my experience that putting wheels outside the case are not nearly as stable or long lasting as those done by cutting them in the case if you are doing any flying.

I'm not going to be flying. I'm just getting old and need to get it back and forth from the trunk of my car. Thanks.

Just my 2 cents.....

I've found that molded or "layered" plastic wheels just don't hold up as well as solid rubber ones. They break apart due to the weight of the loaded case and traveling over concrete with the usual ridges and cracks. It's happened twice to me. But I did like their housings. So, I got some generic rubber-wheel casters, removed the wheels and replaced the broken ones. No more problems.
