The sleeve that the DM42 comes in will stretch in time, and in just a few weeks will be much easier to use (pull machine out).

That said the DM42 fits perfectly, along with an original HP-42S QRG, in one of HP's Pioneer leather cases (they came in Black, Brown, and "Red" (not bright red, more like oxblood) and are often available on TAS, typically for $40-50)

Mine has loosened up a bit, and I leave about a half centimeter gap when I insert it, which allows me to grip at the bottom when I remove it. When I first received it, I needed about five minutes to remove it, and at one point was considering cutting the case off to extricate it from its prison.

As to the OEM HP 42S case, it is way too loose for the DM42, since the HP 42S is wider and thicker.
