| Emelina Chillson 12.06.2013 | If you release one with an all vinyl case (grooves and all) I will pick it up in a heartbeat. Would be twice as awesome with LED feedback and a few encoders. |

| Loralee Erban 11.06.2013 | I would like to see something like a "deck saver" personally... I remember when I got one of my first controllers a hercules mp3 e2 and it came with this plastic lid... when placed on, the lid raised it to the same height as my analogue mixer so something like this for the midi fighter would be nice. |

| Maryalice Grauberger 22.04.2013 | Whats going on with this? Any progress on getting something out? |
| Latoria Kavulich 17.04.2013 | sweet. great work there |
| An Boldosser 29.03.2013 | ok, so first and foremost I just want to say that these are for my own personal use, I am in NO WAY trying to mass produce or sell anything I have posted. with that said, here are the pics of my latest creations... I used DARK t-shirt transfer to make logos to put on the cases, one for the Spectra, the other for the MF3D I believe little cases like this could sell in the stores, $10 or so? the straight edge cutter worked out good thought i'd share some creativity to those looking for ideas on side projects. but i'd still prefer a nice, form fitting hard case that the MF can sit on top and it levels it with the mixer/tables/controller |
| An Boldosser 21.03.2013 | ok, so here's my latest find, I might actually buy another one since I have a Spectra and a 3D, give my old cases to my friend. I was at this little dj lighting shop here in KC that I've been to time and time again and they have some killer deals, while I was there out of the corner of my eye I spot this little gem of a bag, the Arriba AC-50. Here are some pics on it, and my review of it. I placed the USB cable on top to show how its carried with the dual handles, there IS room to place the cable inside of the bag if desired. its got a dual zipper enclosure that opens from the top plenty of padded space on the inside to secure the Spectra, I used the Spectra as its slightly larger than the 3D in length/width with it in side the bag, and outside of the bag the way it opens the front can be opened perfectly to take in and out the Midi Fighter the bottom feels slightly stiff but either way its padded fairly well on the inside so end of the review. I bought the bag at $8.99 USD which I feel is completely fair, I probably would have spent $10 USD for a Midi Fighter logo stitched on it. Pros: nicely padded, well form fitting bag, I like the dual zipper open top, I like the dual carry handles, exterior is firm but not too stiff, seems to be made well and durable, inside zippers have protectors to not scratch the midi fighter. Cons: a top/bottom pocket for the cable would be a nice addition or a padded insert that velcros on the sides to stash the usb cable so it doesn't scratch the Midi Fighter. the bottom isn't AS stiff as I would like. doesn't have the over all stiffness or height to be level with a set of tables as a lot of people would like. overall, its a great and useful bag to protect your investment, and it can be used for multiple things if later DJTT releases Midi Fighter cases (lasers, cables, mics, maybe even headphones) |
| An Boldosser 08.02.2013 | per request... as long as the inside is 6x6 2 inch tall it should fit the MF spectra, i put my MF3D in it since it sits taller, it fits with plenty of room to spare, so i might try to find one thats slightly thinner (2 1/2) |
| An Boldosser 08.02.2013 | got the feet from Lowe's, but i was actually wanting black rubber feets with a hole in them, i was going to back the original screws out and slide the feets in and screw it back together, but i couldnt find any feets... then i saw some at home depot today, weren't as tall as i was wanting, kind of big around, but they could work. i seem to have better luck finding odd stuff at ACE hardware, they had some 5 star knobs i bought to replace a broken knob on one of my speaker stands. as long as the cd case is 6x6 on the inside and atleast 2 inches tall when closed it should work, i'll take some more pictures tomorrow, measured. i believe the case is like 32Digits said, cardboard. i actually have another case i picked up originally for my MF3D but its just a tad too wide and bulky to "toss" in my back pack. picked it up, and the lower case for my second laptop (and i don't use either anymore) @ harbor freight tools i actually found a slightly larger case from there that opened up differently and i was able to pack my second laptop, crane stand, both MFs, and powerstrip, cords, cables. it opens at the handle area, which for me is way better, don't have to worry about packing foam so stuff doesnt move around anymore, the foam took up so much room trying to secure everything |
| Awilda Boggie 08.02.2013 | Dude I was believeing the same when I was in a music store couple of days ago tho the ones I've seen look a little bit different: they have also cartboard to the sides so it's more 'hard' anyway now that I've seen it'd work i'm really considering it too ! =) thanks for the pictures ^^ PS: where you got the feets from? |
| Latoria Kavulich 08.02.2013 | can you get us some plan & side view pics of that case with "exact" dimensions please? thanks maybe we bulk order a whole bunch of those and slap a djtt logo on the top |
| An Boldosser 08.02.2013 | here's what i meant by feet, it sounded kinda off in my previous post, i added feet to the Spectra not a LOT of hieght gain, but its something i added some foam to the case, the foam isn't very stiff, i need to find some different kind maybe and this is what i was talking about for under the unit cable storage, still not firm enough foam. im sure whatever DJTT puts out will be way better, but this was kind of my idea of what i was hoping they could make. i believe a plastic, firm fabric, or aluminum case with firmer foam, clam shell design, on hinges with a latch would be good too. but i built this for under 5 bucks, i had the foam and shoe goo already |
| An Boldosser 07.02.2013 | i know its not super fancy, but hey, it works, protect your investment http://www.microcenter.com/product/2..._CD-DVD_Binder *note* not all cd wallets are considered equal, take a tape measure with you, maksure the insides are atleast 6x6 and 2 inches or more tall. |
| An Boldosser 07.02.2013 | so i was at micro center today and stumbled on this little gem, thought it would work out nicely. these "CD" holders aka "wallets" are getting harder to find it said "50" cd/dvd capacity, which i laughed when i opened it up and it only had 15 sleeves inside for discs front and back, i guess your supposed to double up? or buy more sleeves? any who, i eneded up gutting it anyways... the inside measured 6x6, but it being over 2 inch deep i had to give it a shot, and it looks like i even got room to add some foam to the inside. ive added clear square sticky rubber feet i found at my local Lowe's so it sits a little but higher, almost flush with my MF3D, i believe i would still need to add some solid foam sections inside the case to elevate it a little more for storing the USB cable under it. but for $3.99 i can't complain, i spent $8.99 on the external hd case and it was half the size :/ |
| Latoria Kavulich 04.02.2013 | cool! |
| An Boldosser 01.02.2013 | i have a spectra and a 3d, with the boxes they came in and packing "in mind" i believe a hard style zip case like jester has shown would be ideal or an actual hard case with lid (ata style). both having riser foam in the corners so you can store the USB cable under the unit. now if you had an actual hard ata case w/removeable lid, this could also give it some height /stability. if possible to make an ata case perfectly form fitting and not too bulky |

| Latoria Kavulich 29.01.2013 | Its just a tad too big as the udg case is very rigid, this was with the interior foam removed too. |
| Awilda Boggie 29.01.2013 | haha ok BUMP - I want to know what other people believe ^^ @ jester you said the MF3D doesn't properly sit in the UDG case is this with or without the cable? |

| Deangelo Boender 28.01.2013 | My classic has been in and out of gigs sans-case for a couple of years now. Aside from bits of scuffing on the buttons themselves, it isn't any worse for wear! I would be keen with just a sleeve. |
| Latoria Kavulich 27.01.2013 | just did a quick measure up with the 3D and the TA6 hardcase as a model, sits approximately 110mm high. Without the feet (assuming the spectra has the same dimensions otherwise) they would sit flush. |
| Lillia Datson 27.01.2013 | A semi hard case (like a sunglasses case) in various colours would be good, with the MF symbol on the front. Maybe a little more room for a metal stand that could be folded into it. |
