New Controller Case

New Controller Case

Hi all, This year i’ve been doing a GCSE Design & Technology project based around a case for a Kontrol S4 (or smaller controller). For my write-up I need a couple of short statements from potential buyers about it, so if you could say something constructive i’d be really grateful!

It is made of 1.5mm steel with a wooden lining with storage space. The lid is made of acrylic and slides back to allow access to the controller and act as a laptop stand. The lining has a small section at the front to allow for headphone routing, and the entire rear panel is removed to allow for cable-routing. Also, it would be possible to create inserts to fit smaller controllers, in case you don’t have an S4.

I teach GCSE and have to say well done on creating a case.. it looks good :slight_smile: the problem you would have with this design from a buyers POV thou is the fact it will only work on a large surface. There is no way you could take it anywhere other then your house which brings in the facts : Your gear is safest in your house (not needing a case) and you only need a case to carry your gear and protect it when playing in a club/party…normally you have no space to set up a controller so smaller is better

Yeah when i designed it i rather overestimated the average available space, but oh well, it’s another evaluation point :stuck_out_tongue:
