Just FYI, I designed a protective case for the H4. It is a bit oversized to allow additional SMA connectors to be left on to prevent abuse to the connectors attached directly to the circuit board.
The files are on Thingiverse. I 3D printed mine in PLA but any material should work. There is a bit of room between the connectors at the top to allow a small piece of rubber to be placed if you desire a tighter fit. Look for NanoVNA H4 case or under my designs using Medic433.
Hope you find it useful.

Thanks Darrell I'll take a look. I've been putting off designing one for myself so this may save me some time...

I just don¡¯t have exact measurements to verify the fitting for the other models.

What¡¯s the thingiverse number?

That is cool. 1. Do you have pics to share to show? 2. Are you going to make any to sell, for those of us without 3D printers? (Yes, there are still some of us out there)...

I looked at the case, I had similar thoughts, but I would have holes for the coax cables to connect to the NanoVna and also an extention to mount
whatever test board you are using, in my case the SDRKits test pcb.
Would seem pretty easy to drill holes for the cables to come out, then mount your protective case on another longer board to have a place to mount the test fixture.
Hope that adds some ideas.

No 3-D printer here. So I modified the very nice box my H-4 was shipped in. I provided some large open cell rigid packing material to hold items in place. The small bottle holds the calibration pieces. This is secure and quick, cosmetic touches lacking.
Took about an hour to complete.

Seems to me it needs a lid and space for the cables, cal kit, adapters, etc.
Of course *which* adapters is a very loaded question.
For the moment the very nice box it came in will do for me. Eventually I'll probably put it in a Pelican style case with a bunch of other test gear. If the FNIRSI scope gets hacked so there is better FW, a nanoVNA, FNISRI-1013D, F***Tech 6800 hacked to use a self contained LiPo battery, BSIDE ESR02 Pro and a DMM would make a really nice compact field day support kit.
Have Fun!

The lid is in the picture to the right of the base and NanoVNA. I keep the case and accessories in a canvas zipper bag with allows for additional adapters for different kinds on cables you may come across. If it works for you like it does me, feel free to print it.
