(More customer reviews)I received my mixer bag today. After looking it over I'm very pleased with it's quality, durability, features and design. Not to mention that the price was fantastic too at $31.61. This item is worth all of that.
I wanted some protection for my mixer to go to gigs with. Mind you, if I were going to have very heavy usage, road warrior travel or airplane rides I would have opted for a top notch hardshell case. But all I need is just some decent protection and so the mixer is not exposed to the elements.
This case really fits the bill. What I love is that it is not just a bag; it does have a fairly hard shell frame on the sides, like a suitcase and is padded decently. It's got a nice big pocket for cords and does have a detachable carry strap. You can also get a backpack strap for it and it has loops sewn onto the back to make it backpackable. It also has little interior pockets for small items and pen holders. Not to mention the MP3 player pocket on the side with a hole to fish your headphone wire through so you could listen while the player is in the bag. Another clever design is that they have a velcro tab on the top zipper edge that you can hide the zipper ends under so they won't slide open during transport.
I was afraid my mixer would be too small for the bag but inside is a velcro strap to help tie it down better. I just put the shorter front edge of the mixer touching the bottom side panel and then the velcro strap can be swung around to the back (higher)edge input side of the mixer, pinninng it in place so it can't float around in the bag. My mixer is a about 14 1/2" X 16" so this leaves me about 3 1/2" of space on the top handle side of the case. This is perfect for my two microphones, one in a small padded bag and one in it's box. They slide in the empty space perfectly and hold everything in place even more securely. The material and zippers seem good and tough. Be sure to unzip the case completely around to the back edge before fully opening the top as it may put strain on the zipper when completely opening the lid.
Be aware that the shorter sides have a bit better protection than the larger surfaces (Top & Bottom). You shouldn't lay the bag down on it's back and pile heavy gear on it or anything. The mixer would be more apt to suffer damage to the control panel sliders if something heavy were dropped on it or it suffered a hard blow to the top center of the bag. It travels and stores better just the way it is shown with the handle oriented at the top like a suitcase.
To me this is bag is an awesome value for the price and I highly recommend it.
