Since I travel frequently, mostly on airplanes, I've been experimenting with a convenient, secure, compact, and lightweight way to take my iPod 160gig, iQube V2, ad Sleek wireless equipped UE10s, and related accessories on the road.
I've finally found solution using the very nicely made aluminum case that came with the UE 10 Pros. I cut an opening in the side to expose the controls for the V2 (I didn't want to have to keep opening and closing the case to control the volume), mounted a jack on the other side for the Sleek transmitter (so it can sit outside the case where the wireless signal will not be impeded by the aluminum case), lined the whole thing with black foam and fit all the pieces inside the foam, and found a way to mount the Sleek W-1 equipped UE10s around the perimeter of the case top with foam pads that protect the monitors in transit.
With the case closed, the iQube V2 controls are accessible.
Various view of the case open. Note the UE10s mounted in the case lid and the monitors in the protective foam pads. I carry spare Sleek W-1 transmitters. I've also mounted a rubber ring on the V2 volume control to make it easier to grip and turn. I try this out Monday on a cross-country flight to California.
