Bag for the Xone:DX

[Yul]

I was looking for a bag/case for the Xone: Dx as there was none previewed specifically (A&H what were you thinking? Expecting people to carry the unit around in the original cardboard case? Great marketing for a supposed "carryable" unit....).

After a bit of research and following Mixarchitekt's advice and Phil's review of their product I finally grabbed the Mono DJ EFX365 from Mono cases. I got lucky to find one new on ebay with a 60€ discount.

Here's the official link:

Here's the review from Dj techtools:

And here's a picture of the beast with the DX and a 17" laptop (and cables, headphones, etc, etc...).
I guess this bag could also be a good alternative for the next to come "Traktor system" (and apc40 and all the other large controllers).

Yep, that's the same case I use for mine, a Mono 365. Built like a brick shit house and could just outlast the controller (well, maybe...).

What other bags can be used for the dx? I'm not diggin the mono bag or the controller bags from UDG...

I belive this could work as well for the DX and I belive it offers more of a hard case kind of protection as opposed to just a heavy padded bag:

Yeah I had a look at it, it has a built in trolley handle but I didn't see the internal dimensions so I passed (and considering the picture I doubted the dx could fit)

Also whatever the bag, think that the Dx + a laptop + the weight of the bag itself + is probably going around 10 kilos so toughness, method(s) of carrying is going to be prime criterias (and you don't want to damage a 1000$ controller).



Note: is it me or the price of the efx365 has risen since last week on their site????

Somebody has to come out with a bag that doesnt shout, "Hey look at me, there's at least 3-5K worth of gear in here, please steal me!"

I just found some other bags:
-Magma digi backpack
-Zomo Digital DJ-Bag - Allen & Heath Brand (Made for the 3d)

Thanks D-Vine,
I just checkout the Zomo site, they had a controller bad that would fit the DX:

But I was browsing around in the DJ Techtools store they have a nice bag by UDG:

I spoke to Zach about this and didn't think the DX would fit in the bag. Before ordering it and being disappointed, maybe send him an e-mail (orders at djtechtools.com) and as him to fit the DX in one.
