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? | |
| Elliot Serres 12.11.2010 | Damn I hate ups so damn much!!!! Yesterday is showed delivery on time to arrive today. Now it shows rescheduled!!!! till the 17th. This driver better be prepared for a serious ass beating when my s4 gets here So yet again bag hunt is still on hold, maybe ill cut up a box to the size spes of the s4 and go bag shopping |
| Leeanna Ayla 12.11.2010 | I believe if I was going to use a regular backpack I would want some kind of padded envelope to put it in. |
| Julissa Serrone 12.11.2010 | ^ 12 inches is too short. Dimemnsions are 19.7 x 12.7 The second one is pretty pimp though. Wonder how snug hit would actually be? |
| April Dimsdale 11.11.2010 | what do you believe about those? First is 22" x 12" x 5" http://www.ebags.com/product/oakley/...61511460254672 or 20.5" x 12" x 9.5" http://www.ebags.com/product/oakley/...80572590828208 |
| Twyla Hilst 11.11.2010 | UDG weren't talkin' about an official S4 trolley? |

| Leeanna Ayla 10.11.2010 | I have to shoot a football game in Dallas Friday evening . I drive right past a Guitar Center on the way so if I can get out of town early enough I'll take the S4 in and check some out. |

| david lalinde 09.11.2010 | i got one of my dad old militarty backpacks...thing is huge..i believe it was a camping backpack..its camo green..and has enough room to put a dead body! lol gonna carry my s4 and lappy in it! |
| Janina Droze 09.11.2010 | DJTT could make a fair $$ by importing some of those bags... |
| Julissa Serrone 09.11.2010 | Just B I'm counting on you!!!! |
| Elliot Serres 10.11.2010 | Ok mines will arrive on friday, The hunt will start then. Ive got alot of hopeful bags lined up to try. |
| Zoila Arita 09.11.2010 | It looks like it would easily fit in some of the larger bags from Chrome like the or Timbuk2, maybe once something like a Decksaver comes out those will be more practical since they're mostly just one giant compartment. |
| Leeanna Ayla 06.11.2010 | If someone wants to buy a couple hundred of these Magma bags I can store and ship them. |

| Julissa Serrone 06.11.2010 | ^^^ Dammn you.....you UK'rs!!! No U.S. love for the Magma bag. I might just cough up the money for shipping. Fak! Glad it fits great Wicked!! Thanks for the review. |
| Lorita Leazenby 06.11.2010 | Just got my Magma bag delivered, and will give you a little review. The bag comes with a lot of dividers, so you can use it for a lot of different things. When you want to fit in the S4 you have to rip most of them out though. Like you can see on the NI community , it easily fits a laptop too, and I have my nanoKontrol in there with the laptop, I'm pretty sure you could also fit an X1 into the main compartment with the S4 and laptop. The side pockets are quite big too, and the front pocket is huge, which makes me very happy, because my HDJ-500s fit in there even though they're not foldable. The quality of the bag seems superb, I believe it'll project the S4 very well, as long as you don't throw it around. I owned a UDG bag once, I don't believe I'll ever buy another after getting this Magma bag. The only thing that I'm kind of worried about is how it'll hold when it rains. The zippers look and feel like they might be the weakest link in such an occasion. However, I believe if I use a spray can of that stuff you can use for jackets, the zippers will be able to withstand some rain. If it rains too much I'll just have to find a shelter. Last is wearability, an I'm ver happy to tell you it feels great. If you have the S4 in there, just adjust the shoulder bands, and it'll fit snuggly against your back. You could easily walk for miles with this backpack, you won't feel a thing. |

| Wanda Insel 04.11.2010 | Lol - was just checking where to buy this and look at the bottom result for Google price find!! http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=...-8&sa=N&tab=wf Almost as much as trying to ship it to the US!!! |
| Leeanna Ayla 04.11.2010 | I found them and sent them a PM explaining the potential for sales of this bag. |
| Leeanna Ayla 04.11.2010 | I bet when mixware hears the S4 fits inside they'll start stocking it. EDIT: There's someone from mixware on this site. I recognize the headphone giveaway. |
| Julissa Serrone 04.11.2010 | Repsonse from Magma below: thanks for you mail and the links. Good to know that the S4 fits inside the Studio-Gig-bag 25!- But we have also designed a new trolley DIGI CONTROL-TROLLEY XL, that will be available in January (199,90 |
| Lorita Leazenby 04.11.2010 | Ordered the bag S4 is currently on it's way to me according to the tracking page It's a good day! |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 04.11.2010 | I hope you get fixed up mate. You deserve it after this bag hunt. I have a Magma vinyl bag and the quality is excellent. I may get the 50 in a few months. It's perfect. Gonna see how I get on with the flight case when it finally arrives but my head is turning to the magma now !!! |

| Elliot Serres 03.11.2010 | Well hopefully i can find us something on this side of the pond. |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 03.11.2010 | I have feeling that if Magma get enough enquiries they might stock it. The KS4 is flying off shelves in the US and the Magma bag is pretty much the only bag i have seen that it fits in perfectly. Doesnt take a degree in business to work out that they could sell shit-loads. |
