I'm too cheap to buy a gig bag...but I'm wondering if anyone has any cool substitutes (besides an 'official' gigbag or case) Well, when I transport mine, I usually have a billion cables + a small mixer going with me, so I usually pile it all in a suitcase that has wheels.
Answer:
I would seriously check out the Gator case (I can find a link if you're interested). Fits the POD perfectly and it costs only $20 or so. Quite durable as well.
Answer:
The actual podxtl case is perfect. Only like $70. Lots of room for other cables etc. too.

Hmmmm....the "only like $70" part is where you lose me

I really don't have that kind of money right now...that's why I was looking for alternates (I like B429Boy's suitcase idea--we have suitcases around my house). Also, if anyone's actually hand-built a case, I would be interested in hearing about that too....

Keep the ideas coming!
Answer:
I like the idea of a bag w/ a strap you can wear over your shoulder.
Answer:
just use a small suite case, that should work pretty perfectly

Yeah, me too. Did you have any specific (eg. the "Pac-Sun" messenger bags) ones in mind? I have no idea if Pac Sun makes messanger bags....it was just an example.

Yes, this is looking like it will be the best solution so far

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Answer:
Maybe you could stick it in a laptop case. I've seen laptops that are like 24"-30" wide so it might fit in there.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Also, with the suitcase, I stick some extra padding in there to keep it snug (aka towels and some foam stuff)
Answer:
Gator case
Answer:
Yeah, the Gator Case is only $20.
I personally have found that the unit fits nicely in one of my bass gig bags. pretty convenient.
Answer:
I think the suitcase idea would be the cheapest and would work fine.
Answer:
I always heard that they were really durable, so unless you're pampering it, I don't think you have to worry a whole ton about safety, unless of course you're talking about like on an airline, in which case, the suitcase would be best, and I might pack it with some towels or something for cushioning.
Answer:
Thanks guys for all of the input! I hope this thread isn't too old to update, but I've figured out a way to transport my POD and I wanted to share it with other users...

Christmas has come and gone, and left me with a fair amount of money in the form of WalMart gift-cards. I have decided to purchase a pistol case from Sams Club. It's the right size, well padded, and made out of some serious polycarb plastic.
