Yes
I bought a 2m x 1.5 meter bacdrop that came in a round carry case.
Problem - I cannot get back in carry case!!!!

I have a couple of reflectors that twist and fold to go in their cases which don't give me a problem but this one has me beat.

Any helpful tips appreciated.......................
 
I have a pop up of about that size and all I can tell you is that it does go back in the same sort of way as a reflector, but I still cannot do it regularly and it may take me 4-5 attempts to do it but then all of a sudden it folds away and I am left wondering just how I did it...
Good luck....!
 
Still not got the b****r back in its bag.....................
 
I find that repeating 'figure of 8' over and over in my head as I'm folding it helps in some way....:)
 
stick it on a diagonal with one corner on the floor, bend the two opposing corners in towards you which will drop the top and let the left hand slide up to the drooping top and help it to fold inside the space between the floor and the corner in your right hand.

A lot easier to do than to explain.
 
Figure of eight twist like a reflector, only slightly more difficult because of the size. I have a 7x6 pop up background with attached train and sometimes I find it helps to get someone to just hold the other side. Never quite worked out what to do with the train so it usually gets rolled up afterwards
 
Thanks for the tips - will also check out youtube before I commence battle.
