Who's buying the S4 Case?

Home :: NI - Native Instruments S4/S2 Controller talk :: Who's buying the S4 Case?Reply

Who's buying the S4 Case? Posted on: 24.10.2010 by Mac Fly I know theres too many S4 threads on here already. But I have been on edge about buying the case for the S4 sence it's been in the ranking s shop. Right now I feel like I spent enough money, but I am not sure if I should buy the case or not. Am I just giving into the hype or is it worth the extra cash?

"Unfortunately Native Instruments has just informed us that there are going to be even greater delays for the S4 flight cases due to production problems. The big problem is that they don't have a specific day when we or anyone else will get any more and it could be as late as February before we get full stock.

Erminia Kamikawa 06.01.2011	Originally Posted by IrishBlaggard id be affraid of putting the case on the bus or even leave it unatented anywhere because its TRACTOR written all over it and it just screaming "ROB ME" seems some people are using roller luggage bags/cases and if ya add a little protection like form/even a towel would do, that seems to work for them, and its less conspicuous if ya ask me. under a bus, no one would no whats in it In Canada, mostly we don't have solid issues like robbery at our Bus depot.. None the less I'm a hawk on that bus. every stop & change over. I'm looking a my case.. I know where it is at all times.. Not like its going to move while the bus is moving, lol.. Though, I get you point if I had the Traktor case.. Thing is Odyssey & Magma make decent case too but, they all seem to be awaiting stock.. I'm going on tour in a months time.. My S4 is 2weeks away and I need a damn travel case.. OI.. I love Native Instruments but, damn get a hold of your product before trying to sell worldwide.. I've been putting off my order for my S4 & Case since November.. Then got all this Sold out crap.. I was like OI damn IT.. I look at other companies like Pioneer, sony, Damn Sony wouldn't come out with a new TV and say oh sorry we only had 30,000 for world use.. y'all have to wait 4 more months for the rest.. Jesus I help on find a case that is in Stock?
Mac Fly 03.12.2010	Originally Posted by sebastiannz that sucks! doesn't surprise me though. i got the flight case a few days ago and it looks like it came straight from the factory in a rush - bits of saw dust and wood over it. very sturdy and good quality though. Mine too! There was saw dust all inside it. WTF were they believeing lol.

Nakisha Pasmore 09.01.2011	Has anybody taken the case under the plane with them? I'm travelling abroad tomorrow and am bringing my S4 in the case with me. I'd like to bring it as carry on but I'm afraid it's too big... Anyone?
Erminia Kamikawa 07.01.2011	Got some help for you bro, http://cgi.ebay.com/Odyssey-FZGSTS4-...-/110625322766 I've searched high and low. for these.. and you can't just search the title on these.. need to surf around a bit.. through a ton of sites.. I hope they work for you. I personally went another route.. I'm getting a Road Ready case from an Int'l Distributor. Its originally a case for Mackie Cxahe 16 some mixerboard.. but, it gives me 23x18x8 in space.. so when it comes, I'll mod it.. After reading I a lot ppls thoughts on the design for the Flight Case. I agree I dont like my laptop in front blocking my view of the crowd.. so. im just going to use my Mod Case to hold. my S4 and cables, etc../ and my bags for laptop and headphone.. cause I'm usually on my laptop doing prep while on travel to the next gig.. I hope that all helps, OT www.djovertyme.com
Maxwell Bonifas 06.01.2011	I have looked high and low for suppliers in Europe either the Odessey or the NI flight case (my s4 got stuck in Spanish customs for 3 weeks when i ordered from states) Anybody know any European suppliers with anything i can use as a case for the S4? I am getting sick of turning up to clubs with my S4 in its original box looking like a right Newb ;-)
Lisa Lochotzki 06.01.2011	I just called them, yeah indeed they don't have in stock (could have been a website mstake ... but nope), and like the others, they expect to have some in feb or so. Sorry
Erminia Kamikawa 06.01.2011	No Luck on that Canadian Link..
Erminia Kamikawa 06.01.2011	Thank you, I'll look into it I just looked on Ebay.. Highway robbery!! 248$ for Odyssey glide style Controller case.. then shipping from the States 78$..
Lisa Lochotzki 06.01.2011	If you live in Canada, Get in touch with those guys www.mydjgear.ca Maybe they still have mine or some more in stock

Lisa Lochotzki 06.01.2011	id be affraid of putting the case on the bus or even leave it unatented anywhere because its TRACTOR written all over it and it just screaming "ROB ME" this is one of the reason why I have decided to cancel my order.

Erminia Kamikawa 06.01.2011	have you looked at the Odyssey FZGSTS4 Glide Style Case For Kontrol S4
Lisa Lochotzki 06.01.2011	I believe many Keyboard cases would do. Have a look at Road Ready website.
Erminia Kamikawa 06.01.2011	I love what I've read so far.. Sadly I've now got to wait till Feb till they come back into Production and even then. I'm looking at March till I might see mine if I decide to buy the Case.. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any Solid Case Alternatives? or Great transport ideas.. Because when I tour I tend to take the bus.. and putting something that sensitive under the bus without proper safety scares me. Any help would be great.. Also, has anyone looked into Odyssey FZGSTS4 Glide Style Case For Kontrol S4??

Francina Decosse 23.11.2010	Originally Posted by Chilly Any verdict? The GC by me sucks ass...I know more about their products than their employees. I'd rather avoid any communication with them...meaning if I take in my S4 I'll have to talk to them. UGH Dude, I'm used to know more than most of the gear shop's consultants. It's always like this - we just love digging and learning all the aspects of a product we are interested. We build our own opinion and standpoint and regardless if we know all the variety of products as they do, we just know what we are looking for. I can't blame the employees at these shops. It's a pity that they don't respect that we, as customers, may eventually know a lot, but there's nothing to do about it. I still love that there are many who enjoy knowledgable people and appreciate the exchange of knowledge with us, the geeks. The safe bet however is to go to a shop prepared for falling into a jurk, but still open enough for meeting a nice and helpful guy who may share the same passion! The good is that it's equally possible to have a good or a bad experience in a shop. That's simply fair Cheers!
Nick Ross 23.11.2010	Originally Posted by photojojo No, I'm planning on taking mine in and just trying a bunch of bags. Any verdict?

Natashia Dionise 23.11.2010	Wish I had taken a bag... Just got the word that the case will take a week more from DJTT...
Leeanna Ayla 18.11.2010	No, I'm planning on taking mine in and just trying a bunch of bags.
Natashia Dionise 18.11.2010	Originally Posted by photojojo I procrastinated a little, and just ordered mine from DJTT. Stopping by Guitar Center tomorrow so I might get a bag as well. Is there a special bag for it?

Natashia Dionise 18.11.2010	I ordered it with the S4 as investment protection... And it looks rather cool If a booth or any other place is to small I assumed you could take the laptop shelf of... Will let you know the practical + and -
Francina Decosse 18.11.2010	there's an Odyssey case on sale: http://www.pssl.com/Odyssey-FZGSTS4-...r-Kontrol-S4-s
Shalon Jaranilla 18.11.2010	Saw this on a dutch website, http://www.aboutdj.nl/nieuws/1471-pr...lightcase.html will come in January. I will wait for a good professional bag in combination with decksavers, Still got an old mixer bag from gigskinz might just fit or not. Still waiting for the S4 to arrive. Thomas
Mac Fly 18.11.2010	Wanted to bump this thread.... I recieved my S4 recently and I ordered my case shortly after on October 26th. I was wondering when the flight case will be shipped. I read in the ranking s store that they will ship out no later than Nov. 19th as in tomorrow. Does anyone know of any information regarding this?
Mac Fly 26.10.2010	Screw it I just bought it. I plan on having this controller for a long time which is the only reason for buying the case and keeping it protected right away.
Francina Decosse 25.10.2010	Not sure about the elevation thing though??? that with the foam is my dream of NI shipping the S4 retail package with a piece of custom foam, which will be usable for top controlls protection (when in a bag) and also for elevation of the unit when below :-D just in my dreams, I guess, but would be nice. especially the protective part of the idea
nayit ruiz jaramillo 25.10.2010	Yeah the dimensions of the VCI 300 case are not the same as the S4 case for sure. The S4 case also has velcro straps to hold the laptop in place. Also i believe that the sliding lid has foam underneath it that secures the S4 in place when in transit. Not sure about the elevation thing though???
Francina Decosse 25.10.2010	Karlos, you're very close with the assumption for the Magma case for VCI-300 + VFX-1 - it looks identical. Probably it would be a little bit different due to: 1) VCI-300 Depth : 275mm vs S4 Depth : 322mm. The case has Internal depth of 360mm, which is not enough for fitting the cables - especially the TRS take more room. 2) the picture shows velcro strips for tying a laptop on the shelf, but that's minor. I'm not sure how much I like the sliding shelf - it adds weight and size to the case. Also these angled rails concern me ... Probably I'll go for a simple custom made case. It would also be much cheaper. Screen infront ... nah, no need ... Being an optimist, I still hope for a custom made foam in the package to provide basic protection for the controlls. If it's the proper density and stiffness, it will be usable for elevation - don't believe it will bounce back that much considering how large the contact surface will be on the bottom side.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 25.10.2010	Crazy man has Bird Flu...^^^
Dorcas Bassignani 25.10.2010	i'm getting the case, still not sure about the controller or just wait for the software update hinted at in the NI FAQ pages. but i figure the case would make a cool lunch box for work....
