Uh… I’m not sure that it does?
Do you mean… flight case wise?
I would be willing to go with a flight case but I might prefer something soft that other controllers could fit into as well.
So to clarify, you’re looking for any sort of case or box that’ll fit a Z2.
I don’t have advice for you I just wasn’t entirely sure about the intent of the original question.
my backpack will do the job perfectly. just send it over to me and i´ll have a look!

I’ve been wondering about a Z2 backpack myself. I know there are some backpacks made for mixers. Haven’t done the research yet. Keeping my eye on this thread…
A large sock
The djtt controllerist backpack.
gator has a nice bag:
Did some research. The Z2 is actually a relatively larger 2 chan mixer compared to others. Here are dimension comparisons (got a little carried away) for many of the major 2 channel mixers (listed in order of decreasing length, all measurements in mm, L x W x H):
L x W x H (in mm)
djm t1: 403 264 109
NI z2: 388 272 109
djm 909: 381 251 108
rane 62: 362 267 102
xone 32: 358 257 89
rane57sl: 343 254 102
rane 61: 338 254 102
rane 56s: 338 254 77
05proIV: 330 263 83
xone 22: 326 240 82
xone 02: 320 262 90
djm 400: 305 222 107
djm 350: 301 218 106
djm 250: 300 240 108
Magma bags already have a link dedicated to Z2 bags (no new bag, just links to which of their current bags will fit): http://www.magma-bags.com/gear-guide/Kontrol-Z2.html
The Gator G-Club CDMX-10 linked above is actually a little small. But the big brother version CDMX-12 should work:

Any others people recommend? Look at the dimensions of the Z2 (388 mm x 272 mm x 109 mm) and let’s get some more ideas! I did not search for any flight cases or hard covered boxed cases as I’m more interested in bags/backpacks…
Hope this helped!
I will be using my UDG Creator or as I like to call it: The Canvas Nuclear Bomb Proof Equipment Panic Room. I’ll do a video when the my z2 arrives ![]()
I should however point out one large problem with this bag. It allows you to pack in so much stuff that you quickly find yourself with a bag that you can barely carry. I put my should out last week. I had:
1 Xone K2 (in case)
1 Kontrol F1 (in neoprene case)
1 15.6" Samsung laptop
1 14" HP laptop
4 2.5" hard disks (in hard carry case)
1 pair HD25s (in bag)
1 pair Klipsch X10s (in case)
1 large Swiss army knife type thing
screwdriver kit
assorted pens and CDS
Enough cables to rewire china
The good lord Jesus Christ (8lb 3oz Talladega Edition)
I could have jammed Maschine in too…
Yes, looks like UDG Creator will work, as it has inner dimensions of 420 mm x 325 mm x 165 mm. Let us know how you like the fit!
I’m in deep passionate love with this bag…
Have you tried this? The smallest dimension on the Z2 is 109mm (without a case or decksaver or anything like that) vs +/- 76 mm on the controllerist backpack, according to this site’s store page for it.
I think this will do it for me! I hope to fit:
1 x Kontrol Z2 (w/decksaver)
2 x Kontrol F1 (in the NI cases and decksavers)
1 x Maschine or Maschine mkii (in decksaver)
1 x rMBP
1 x iPad
in-ears, ear plugs, cables, charger, and sharpie.
Thanks smittten!
(I am a little worried about how you feel about the bag, though - keep it platonic. Don’t let yourself get hurt. Take it slow.)
Has anyone ever tried these? http://store.roadreadycases.com/dyn_prod.php?p=RR12BB
It’s like a little bridge for the mixer! The rack ear version is sort of cuter because everything seems to be the same height.
I hope to bridge these:

Z2 arrives today so I’ll check the fit with the UDG.
Think I’m gonna go with this - Odyssey Cases REDLINE ELITE SERIES PRO SHUTTLE WHEELED UTILITY BAG - Best Case Protection for Your Gear
Thanks! I bought a coffin because I’m flying LGA/SFO/LAX/CDG a lot and wanted to take both my 1200s and the Z2, but the UDG might be a much more practical option for any situation where I don’t need my own.
