Does the Matriarch Case allow you to keep cables plugged in?

If you have patch cables plugged into the Matriarch, can you put it into the Moog soft case with them still in or will it not fit and/or mess up the input jacks?

It's possible to mash down the patch cables enough to close the case, but I would not recommend it. The Moog soft case is a snug fit. The flex part of the cables are forced to bend at a sharp 90 degrees at the end of the rigid plugs. So, I'm concerned that the cables could break or—worse—develop intermittent shorts.

Ok, Thanks. I assumed as such. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to invest in right angle patch cables so you could put it in the case without having to unplug everything.
