Better Kontrol X1 case?
Better Kontrol X1 case? Posted on: 22.02.2010 by Efrain Scharr anyone know of any aftermarket case? Not real into the ones NI has made, and at $40 a pop they seem like kinda overpriced for wht they really are. Hoping something a little nicer comes out from an aftermarket company.... | |

| Random X 03.03.2010 | Thanks for the pics Karlos! Will be posting it to several other boards too! (Loads of q-s on the X1 cases) |
| Efrain Scharr 03.03.2010 | So, what does the inside of these look like? gonna buy tomorrow i believe. |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 25.02.2010 | You know what Phil i never even though of that. Yeah the top comes completely off so you 'could' slot the X1 in the case. You would lose a little hight though which in my setup means it would be lower than my decks. The X1 doesnt move at all if its on top cus they have rubber feet and the case has rubber feet as well that are really grippy. Ill give it a go in the case when i get home tomorrow and post up what i believe... Cant believe i didnt believe of that. K |
| Corine Kasman 25.02.2010 | Karlos, I was suprised to see that the X1 just sits on the case. I thought is sat into the case with the top removed. Does it move around on the case that way? Phil. |
| Sharri Dintaman 24.02.2010 | Appreciate the pics, Karlos.The x1s do seem very low by themselves, and the case does look good sturdy, so yeah, now I see your point Lance. Would be nice for NI or a retailer to offer a package. Maybe a group if there is enopgh interest? |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 24.02.2010 | Heres some piccies. What id say about these cases is if you judge the price on materials they are expensive, cant avoid that fact. But if you look at them for what they offer which is protection for your X1s, wont scratch your other gear, not heavy, not solid, well made, usable as stands, you soon see that they are worth it. I was very hesitant buying 2 cases as it wasnt cheap but i know id be unhappy with any make-do case cus i dont want my X1s getting damaged. They really are pretty sturdy. They dont flex or dip when they are used as stands despite looking like they might they are pretty solid. Piccies: Entombed X1 Open case with USB lead in pocket. Open case with stands down. Stands Up Used as a stand. |
| Matthew Urtel 24.02.2010 | what not just use an old microphone case with some new foam cut to the X! shape? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MicBoxWood/ is pretty nice, same price..but you could probably find one much cheaper. |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 23.02.2010 | No its actually pretty sturdy . They have 2 hidden flaps inside that raise up to support the top panel when they are used as a stand. They also have a pocket for the usb lead. The only criticism people seem to have is that the X1 fits inside very very tightly. Its a struggle to get out but i guess it will loosen up. Price wise, i guess they are a bit over what id like but they are definitely a must for the gigging dj. Dunno if anyone is making a case for the X1 , i suppose it makes sense for someone to cash in cus NI have sold a LOT of X1s. |
| Latoria Kavulich 23.02.2010 | is it a bit flimsy? |
