S4 - What to carry it in

S4 - What to carry it in
Posted on: 10.10.2010 by Julissa Serrone
Aside from the case meant for it, how do you guys plan on transporting your S4. I'm looking for a cool looking packpack that it will fit in, withough having to drop major bucks. Was looking at one of the old UDG bags, but I believe it's about an inch too small. Any ideas?

Does anybody know of a small sized bag for the S4 which has a sliding strap for a trolley?

I am a DJ who likes to travel very light (i.e., with only carry ons). I hate checking in given that I need to wait for my bags to arrive...which kills roughly 30-45 mins I could spend getting to my gig earlier to setup and gauge the crowd's vibe

So far the only in stock bag that I've seen for the S4 w/ the slider strap is the Magma Digi Control XL backpack. Also it seems as if its now sold out predecessor, the Magma Digi Control XL bag has this option. However the only issue with the backpack is that its height is 51cm, which is clearly longer than the handle length found on normal carry on sized trolley bags...

Does anyone know of viable alternative options?

I believe the killer combo would be a messenger type style of bag (very light and versatile in carrying style) which has this slider strap attached to the back

Any suggestion is welcome!

I really liked the dj ranking s bag but it's been out of stock for a long time, anyone knows if there are going to be more coming?

Got told on Facebook by DJTT poster that there could be a batch at the end of this month

AMEN! Tis my favourite thing to do... I love showing up at my friend's apartment randomly and running my midi controller while I let my friends mash buttons on the midi fighter

EDIT: looking for a bag solution as well... how well protected would you say your controller is in that bag? Anyone have a comparison of it to the S4 bag in the DJTT store?

I know sorry man. Will teach me to post whilst distracted at work!!

Great find this bag though. The pics don't really give you an idea of how much more you can fit in with the s4. I'm gonna order one toevening so hopefully in a couple of days I can come back and let you know.

I'm not so happy with my suitcase solution anymore as it's pretty big to be taking on the bus and wotnot.

I'm just trying to decide now wether it's going to fit all the other bits, surge protector and spare charger cables etc...

WOW!!! love it!! Looks a perfect fit. Not too tight but it's also not gonna move around a lot and risk damage!! Definitely the bag for me!!

Spoke to soundware today and the guy assures me it fits!! Says he'll try get some pics up. This bag looks perfect for me. Not too bulky, doesn't look like I've left home with a suitcase and can be used as carry on hand luggage. Gonna order one today.

Should have some photos of the S4 in this Gator G-CLUB-CONTROL Midi Controller Bag tomorrow at some point a store on eBay is taking some shots and sending them me, I'll post them on here once I get them, looks a good alternative to the djranking s bag and a good price!

Yeah thats the one I'm talking about. First UDG made a 22" trolley that was suitable to fit the S4, then believeing smart UDG partnered with NI and made the same Trolley, but with the Traktor logo branded on it.

I am flying to NY via delta for a gig this weekend. What are the chances they will let me carry my odyssey flight case on? It's the smaller of the two without the laptop shelf but slightly larger width wise then deltas dimensions. If it's not gonna work I guess I'll head to the mall and look for a carry on bag that will fit my S4.

Looks like a modded suitcase, not sure it its small enough for carry on though.

This was my problem. I was searching all over for an S4 trolley that was suitable for carry on when flying, but couldn't find anything really besides the UDG 22" Creator trolley, and they said its "suitable for most airlines" so not to sure if it would pass on all carriers.

Well I've sold my S4 now, probably gonna get the Twitch now for portability.

Just purchased a Fusion SA-01 Workstation DJ bag to go with my recently ordered S4.

Decided to go with this after seeing a boy I know have all the essensials including a 12 pack of beers loaded into the bag for a gig.

Ordered this bag to go with the S4 I have just purchased - http://www.production-room.com/fusio...orkstation-dj/

A guy I know had bought it and when I saw him was carrying his S4, 15" Macbook, headphones, charger, cables and a 12 pack of beers so I believe its safe to say will do the job for me!

Yes, I believe the bag is a bargain.

It's well padded to protect the S4 and has plenty of room for laptop, headphones, cables etc.

Just got this bag from my local DJ gear store.

It's nice and light and the quality is very good for the $55 I paid.

Like the look of that!!! The width may be a little tight. only 1cm extra space.

Worth ordering for the price. can always be returned if its no good.
