Hey guys,

I've an iBasso D10 Cobra amp (55*21*104mm), a Cowon D2 (78.0 X 55.4 X 16.6 mm) and some IE8s. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a carrying case when I go hiking/biking? The smaller the better, but I'd also like to be able to have everything connected and playing without excess space.

I also might want a bag to put the above setup in as well as my chargers, headphone splitter and a short optical cable in. That takes second priority though, as the D2 currently has nothing protecting its screen.

If you are going to do a lod setup or the like I would highly recommend a hippocase from the jaben online store.

Not sure what lod setup is and I took a look at the hippocases. My main concern is that it seems like it's designed for an ipod and the D2 has a touchscreen as well as being larger. If it still would fit, I'd get it...it just doesn't look like it would. I would like something that I could change the song without unpacking my entire setup every time (since I usually put it on random, I change songs often).

bump, still looking for a solution. I ordered some elastic wristbands to hold the D2 and the D10 together, but I still need a bag since I'm basically a portable DJ.

Have a look at Headroom's line of bags.

I did check them out, but none of them seem compact enough for biking/hiking (dusty) while still having access to the touchscreen. The Mini Bag would be nice for the DJing supplies, but yikes, $45 for a simple case, $10 just for shipping? :\

Here's my dilemma:

You can always contract someone to make a bag for you I have seen a couple do that.

You probably want a compact camera bag. Either lowepro or canon.
I've got a canon bag from Best Buy and it fits any two of the D10/Ipod/iRiver/Zune combination perfectly. It also has an inside and outside pockets for cables and phones. The volume knob just fits into the case and you can leave it partially unzipped for volume control.

I've also have a larger bag, lowepro, with can carry all 4 players/amps.

Thanks, I'll go by the local camera and see if I can find anything that'll work.

Ya, ask a DIYer to make a custom case for them.

If anyone has any references or knows anyone in particular that could fit my needs, please PM me their names. I would really appreciate it - I don't know too many people despite my join date.

I would look for something hard for biking. Both of those components can probably take a pretty hard hit and still funcion, but the casing and screen could get boogered up pretty easily.

I like the idea of a pelican...over a bag; I might do that -- however, a really slim case that will protect the rig from damage is what I still need. Here are the most recent photos. Also, does anyone know how to shrink those elastic wristbands? I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer.
