What is the best Prime 4 case out there? Looking for options

That’s it. Flightcase for the Prime 4. It will be used on flights, not often, but needs to survive underpaid staff throwing it around. Would prefer all black, but metal stands out a bit more (easier to see which helps both in airports and in dark clubs). Odyssey (or how ever those are called) which is available in the NA region - they do not exist here in Europe, tried to find some - nope, nothing.

Got the usual - UDG, Magma, Flyht Pro, Thon. And a couple of shops that build them to spec, like Thomann (but that one has a crappy handle, colleague said - no good) and Musikhaus Korn does build them, but I would rather buy a purpose-built.

Just the Prime 4, not a workstation case (I have no need for a slider for the laptop). Share your experiences please, how robust the cases are and if there are any issues like a bad handle or locks etc. Budget is irrelevant, leaning towards the Magma with 11kg - that is still acceptable since some airlines here only allow 20kg bags, not 25kg (this is where the heavy UDG case shoots over) - no need to pay extra weight :smiley:

I recently moved over to a DJM/SC setup, but during my time using a PRIME4 I used a XS-PRIME4WBL from ProX! You can get them in 1U or 2U if you want racks, and the back end is very spacious. I was able to store all the cables for the mixer and some of my speaker wires inside the case under the mixer (there’s a big space to put stuff underneath) which was a nice added bonus. Overall a very nice case and I ended up purchasing 3 XS-CDBL’s from them for my DJM750/SC6000’s

Does not help me much since that manufacturer has no dealers in Europe. And I will not import a case and get bent over by the customs :smiley:

For my MCX 8000 i have the Odyssey 2U Case and also for the Prime 4, ist aviable in Europe over bax-shop i think from netherlands. Im from Germany. And the price ist nearly the Same without the Rack space, wich i usw for conector panel, 3 Wireless mics with a small mic mixer and Wireless DMX. So i have a Clean and quick Setup.

Let’s see. Looking at the Magma case at the moment. UDG seems more interesting but is expensive and very heavy. Will probably stick with Magma.

Pro X is what I have bought for both of my Prime 4’s super nice fit and very well built!

Nothing like that is available in the stores here. Currently I am in Portugal, so the easiest stuff to get is Magma or UDG (UDG is handled in Spain so this is the easiest).

Will probably be the Magma case. I do not travel frequently so the case should be plenty, but if the padding is bad etc. - well, will see once that thing arrives. I had no issues with Magma cases in the past, but all of them were smaller and for much lighter devices than the Prime 4.
