Bag for the Xone:smiley:X

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:
http://www.monocase.com/mono-efx-dj.asp

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.

Phil.

Please let me know, this seems like in interesting alternative!

I will email ahead, once I actually buy a new midi controller. Im still doing research before buying anything, ie controller, bag & accessories. I wanted to buy the DX, but that got halted till I see what’s up with the new Traktor controller that might be the ticket for me. But yeah I know disappoints, I must have brought varies with different bags over the past 4 years some are perfect in one aspect, but not in others. What I think it might come down to is either using a huge backpack (which I have 2) or getting an XL Timbuk2 Messenger Bag, so I can the extras like a SLR camera, cables, X1, headphones and backup cds.

12

Just bought the Magma Digi Backpack. I will post some pictures and info when I received it.

What would be nice would be to find here what are the bags that actually do fit the Dx and not some random searches or guesses.

15

On the Magma site, they have listed which of their bags fit the DX

i believe that the only magma bag who possible fit is the turntable bag

On this link you can find a flightcase: http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music/typeproducts2.asp?id=2685-6557

I really want a hard case for mine. I want to keep it in the case while I dj. A bag would be of no use to me. I did read somewhere that the idj2 case fits with very slight mods but with it being discontinued its proving more difficult to get one. Although saying that I would much prefer a purpose built one for the DX.

I ordered a Mono 365 the other day. Lugging the thing on a plane this week so at least it’ll be well protected although it was serious cash for a bag imo!

The gaming console from Everki looks promising. Everki Black Beacon Laptop Backpack w/Gaming Console Sleeve, fits up to 18" Model EKP117NBKCT - Newegg.com
