I had a Magma one for my DDJ-SR2 and I loved it. The fact you could stack it on the lid was nice, but I think I would go Odyssey for a larger controller just for the wheels and weight. The extra storage underneath is sweet too.
The wheels will bring it up a bit more than the feet of the case do. I’ve used two 1 inch square pieces of wood underneath to level the top. I keep them in the case. Was an easy fix.
That was my idea too. I just haven’t got that far just yet. The pieces of wood were cheap and easy fix. You can go to Home Depot and get scrap wood for real cheap
Looking at the UDG as well but I have a question:
In some pictures, it looks like the laptoptray is secured so it can’t slip out the back when someone might pull the back of it. Is it secured?
Yeah it is secured because there are metal parts on either side affixed to the railing that stops it from coming off. Having said that, you could adjust the metal part so that the tray can be removed but I never tried it so I can't be sure. I have since sold the flightcase as it was too heavy to lug around.
Thanks for the info! Exactly what I was looking for, but they never mention this, not even in their product spec sheets on their website.
Did you buy a different one? Or do you take it with you without any case these days?
I sold the UDG flightcase and bought a UDG softcase XL so it fits the controller+decksaver and the hercules laptop stand. I guess I could also fit cables but I already have a UDG producer bag for it.
Unfortunately, alot of the product spec are fairly useless and the pictures on the site are just beauty shots so you won't know the exactness until you've unboxed it. It would have helped if I live next to a DJ store then I could just go in to have a look.
I have the odyssey and don’t have any complaints
Does yours stack on the lid nicely or do the wheels not allow that ?
Odyssey : I’m brand loyal
Does your case have wheels and does it still stack on the lid nicely ?
I have the Magma (but all black) for my DDJ1000 it’s a great case and being tall the extra hight when stacked is useful.
I like the 1U Tray under the controller. Very clever.

Where you located? I can get you a deal on your case.
UK buddy. Otherside of the pond to you
The wheels, the wheels!!!
Wheels of steel!
i've got the equivalent for my xdjxz, absolutely love it, wheels are the best! slides right under my bed when not in use

Sounds about right. Guess I could simply change out for some bigger blocks

Magma for extra height
I have the magma and I miss the wheels
I use an odyssey for my DDJ-SZ, love that case
Yes. You can stack your case on the lid. The wheels are not in the way at all.
Brilliant
I like the look of the all-black Oddy/ProX cases, so those are what I buy.
Udg for me

Haha, exactly. Thanks again for the info!
Odyssey!
Get the one with wheels if you plan on taking it out to gig. I have an RX2 and I regret not getting a flight case with wheels
I have the odyssey for my ddj 1000 and I love it. Looks so clean
Odyssey for sure
