SKELETON CASE REVIEW It's Suitable for anything

0:01 This particular product here could be something that anyone can use

Alright guys, get continual requests for more reviews on different items that have got nothing to do with DJing. Well, this has got something to do with DJing, but also it's got absolutely nothing to do with DJing whatsoever. This particular product here could be something that anyone can use. It's from a company called SkeletonCase.com. I'll put a link in the description. It is a flight case. What's it for? Well, let's imagine you are on the road quite often and you've got some expensive pieces of kit that you need to be looked after. They've got to be secure. Also, they've got to be well padded, well protected. Well, this item here is of course a flight case. It's from skeletoncase.com and there's a tiny difference to it.

Now first of all, normally when you buy flight cases they're for a specific item and you open the box up and there's padding around the outside and there's room enough for a certain thing. Well this is slightly different because it's got something inside it called pick foam. Now I'm just going to open it up. I've got a couple of butterfly clips either side so I'll just pull those apart with clips at the top. Quite often you'd see this kind of foam in the likes of studios. It's great for soundproofing. So if your mate's just bought one of these, don't take it out and stick it on the side of your wall because he or she will not be very happy. I'm going to put that there. I'll give you, very shortly as well, I'll give you the dimensions of this particular case but they do come in all shapes and sizes. Now this is the ingenious part. I love this.

2:25 In fact that proves a point

If you're like me, like picking things out and whatnot then you're going to love this. Now it's difficult to see in this video but what I will do is I will put a link to a whole bunch of pictures that I would have uploaded to my Facebook page where you can get a close-up of this. This is called Pick Foam. Now the idea behind this is very simple and also just to let you know as well there are two bits in there. is by the way is something called silica gel so my advice there first of all two things with silica gel a do not eat it because you'll foam at the mouth and B leave it in there because what it does it helps to keep the moisture away from the items that you put inside your case right so there it is

Never mind. No, actually it doesn't matter. In fact that proves a point. Can you see there's almost ridges there? Well each tiny piece there is a piece of foam and I'm going to measure that for you now to give you an idea of the size of that piece of foam. And it is roughly about 15mm by 15mm and for all the people out there who like an inch... It is just over half an inch by half an inch. And the thickness of the pick foam is five centimetres, which is two inches. So what's the idea behind pick foam? Right, I'm going to put that layer back in there and then I'm going to put the second layer in like so. Right, there you go. Right, that's happy there. So what's it for? What are we going to do? Now, I've got this for my cameras. Everyone keeps on saying, why don't you get a better camera? Why are my videos, I'm digressing slightly, why are my videos in low quality? It's because it just takes so long to upload HD. When I do get better upload speed, I'll be recording in HD. So, right, back to the case. For example, I can place my camera there and I can place, let's say,

4:51 First layer, pioneer wego, pieces foam

There. What I can do before I start doing anything else to the case, I can place items on the case and I can look where I want particular items to be. Maybe I've got, which I have got two cameras, I could put the two cameras there. I could put the one TV screen there. I can put some lenses here and maybe I can put some power supplies there. When I then set out the items, then... It's a case of just going about picking the foam out and then the item then will sit neatly inside that area where you've picked the foam out. Now again, just video cameras there, but imagine this, and I thought about this earlier, just before I started to do the video. Because we've got two pieces of foam, now I've got the Pioneer Wego here. What I probably could do is I could take the first layer away

I could then, you see the Wego fits neatly inside there with ease and also as well very important you need to make sure that you do have bits of foam around the side as well. You don't want to start taking the foam away from there so you're left with no foam by the side of your piece of kit. You want to make sure you've got it well cushioned so I could pick out the foam from the bottom layer Sit that neatly down into that layer. Now also if I do this, I need to make sure that the item in question isn't poking, protruding sort of out from the first layer. So the idea I had, if I was going to put say for example a Pioneer Wego in here, is have that positioned in the first layer and then I could get maybe a thin piece of foam covering that

And then the second layer I could then put maybe my laptop. Now because, and again just think about this, because the laptop is slightly bigger than the Wego it would mean that there would be certain pieces of foam sticking up that would not only secure the Wego in place but also my laptop like so. Alternatively, think about it, duh, because the laptop's slightly heavier Put that down first and then the Wii go above it in the second level. So which leaves you all of this area here so you could put, for example, maybe another controller in there. Now I'm going to give you the measurements of this case and it is, I'll give you metric and imperial as well. So it is, and bear in mind this is a rough idea. It's from actual side to side.

7:49 20-ish centimetres, which is 8 inches

It is 82 centimeters, which is just under 32 and a half inches. And then the width is just 19 inches, which is about 48 centimeters. And if I put the top back on this one here, I'll just put the top on like that for now. It is give or take. 20-ish centimetres, which is 8 inches. OK, now if you're considering getting something like this and for example the Wego is, this is a tip, OK, the Wego is give or take 15 inches, 38 centimetres by 26 centimetres, which is sort of like 10 and a half inches. Don't think, right, I'm going to have something which is wide. I'm going to get my case, which is 15 centimetres. So I'm going to get it 16 centimetres wide. Sorry, long and width. I'm going to get it 11 inches, which is 28. Get it bigger because it means then you've got areas to put other items as well. And then of course, think about it. There is the Wego. So imagine your case is just a little bit bigger than that.

You've got your Wego in, you've picked your pick foam and all of a sudden you decide to sell the Wego and you get something else. There's two things you can do. Maybe the item you bought that's bigger, all you need to do is pick a few more bits of the pick foam out, put your item in there and it'll sit there securely. Alternatively, I'm quite sure you can buy other pieces of pick foam. So this is it. For one item. It can be for anything. It doesn't have to be for a DJ. It can be for a photographer, for example, like me or videographer, which is what I do. That's what I've got this guy for. All right. It's from a company called SkeletonCase.com. I will put a link in the description as I said. Also, as I said earlier, I'm going to be taking a lot more pictures of this. I'm also going to be taking after I've done this video of me

Starting to pick it out. So while I'm taking a few of the bits of foam out, I'll place a camera in, I'll take a picture, take a few more out, put a screen in, take a picture. Not only that, I'm going to make sure that I've got levels underneath so I can if I want to once I've, for example, again, I'm going to make sure I do this correctly. So it's going to take a bit of time to work it out. But I'll take the first level out and maybe put a few items down where they fit there, they'll work there quite nicely. And then I'll put the second layer on and maybe then incorporate having a few items above some of the ones below. So I'm making advantage of all of the space I've got. And also then if all of a sudden I decide I don't want to do photography anymore, I could maybe put a surfboard in there or something like that, a small surfboard. Right, OK.

All the info will be in the description. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
