    Default Carrying cases/bags?

    So, since this is still a new product, any recommendations on anything to carry it in? I use to have a S4 and the DJTT S4 bag but no longer have them in my possession. I did like the bag, but overtime, just having the one shoulder strap was causing discomfort and pain.

    I did hear the DJTT S2 Mono bag does fit but it is snug, so I am looking at other options. I've been particularly leaning towards either the Axio Beatbox DJ Bag (http://axioluggage.com/beatbox.html) or the Mono EFX 365 DJ backpack (http://www.monocase.com/mono-efx-dj.asp), but looking at some of the dimensions, I'm not sure the VCI-400 would fit.

    Would anybody like to chime in with personal experiences or their own thoughts? I would be eternally grateful. Thanks!

    I have to admit, that does look nice, though a bit expensive for my taste. I won't rule it out though, just looking at my options. Thanks for the tip!

    I bought the MONO S4 DJTT bag and it is perfect. Just a touch big for the VCI but to me it's a perfect fit.
    An incredible bag as well I love it. Well worth the $.

    You can also check out "Brady Cases" They do customs. I just got done chatting with their live help, and for a case with a slide out laptop stand, choice of color, and LED lighting around the area of the controller, it's $450 shipped (roughly). A bit pricey, but another option to look at.

    hey

    just got a Fusion Workstation DJ bag, for a VCI400 its absolutly PERFECT! The video below walks through the functions etc, has loads of features and bits that make it a joy to work with. In another video it shows it with an S4 and its just a fraction too big for the "controller pouch", needing to be packed in the main compartment of the bag without the pouch in the same way as the second (non-akai) controller here. However a VCI 400 fits in the controller pouch snug as a bug, and once this is put in the main case its almost as if its been designed specifically for it, its such a snug, perfect fit that you actully have to give it a fair tug or unzip it all the way down to pull the pouch out.

    Gonna do a full set of pics for the "whats in your bag" thread when i get time in a few days.

    kevin, that is one of the most thought-out bags i have seen in a while. how are all the handles/straps for it? the one thing i disliked was walking around with a single shoulder strap, but it is not a deal breaker. how much did you get yours for?

    Edit: didnt realize it had a backpack system, i think im in love!

    Searching online it goes for ~$200. However, only shipping from the UK.
