My S4 Case

So this is a case option, (not a bag) but it is much slimmer and lighter than the uber-sized NI one.

Width: 14cm vs 21cm for the NI Case
Weight: Under 2kgs vs 8.7kg for the NI Case
Make: WAG Heavy 4040 - Made in germany
Cost: Case + foam inserts around the same price as the NI Case

It will fit the S4 and a 13" mac laptop as well.

The foam padding protects the S4, holds it in place, but does not press on any buttons or connectors like the headphone vol control etc

Having the S4 on top of the closed case works well for extra height if you are on a lower table.

Also, some pads under the S4 allow me to place a 13" mac laptop under the S4 (like the new Pioneer controllers do) - see photo below.

Nice! Their online shop sucks though...

That case is excellent. Brilliant work mate.

@DJKeyWee, you tried that company mate? How come they suck. Seems like a cool case.

No I haven't... probably because their online-shop is German only (or i am f*&@ blind :D)? They don't seems to have North American distributor either.

I'll send them an e-mail a little bit later. Knowing how great our Canadian customs are... I may received it in 2096...

Thanks Karlos


The WAG website wouldn't even tell me the weight without knowing which distributor I was. So I assume they don't sell direct.

The distributor in Australia wasn't the speediest either. They were closed for 2 weeks over Xmas. Happy I perservered though. The cases are really well made.

hey mate, what price were these from caseit.com.au? dont have an s4 (yet) but just interested to know. i see they can cnc cut custom foam and can screen print the cases too.

That's very nice!!

around 130 + gst + delivery from Caseit - thats where I got mine from.

DOnt go thru CaseKing - they dont answer and only source from caseit anyway.

I just got some foam from Clark Rubber. Pretty easy to do. I think custom foam from them would be expensive.

no doubt it would! a friend of mum and dad's has a cnc and waterjet and stuff so i could get something custom cut if need be :)

but foam isn't that hard to cut.... good old electric carving knife does wonders!

I have a turkey carver that's shaped more motorcycle seat foam than it's carved turkeys. :D

anybody got a URL for where to get these cases? Im sick of waiting for NI now so wanna buy one

Nice looking case! and looks like it can take a beating :o

I still have my VCI bag but Ill wait if it fits something big like the S4 before selling it. Or if any1 knows this already its a Torq bag.
