There's a huge trough running down the middle - perfect for the power brick:

So now I decided to clean it all up for a more professional look. I removed most of the Velcro, but not on the long side pieces. It needs to remain there because it adds just a little bit of thickness. I also trimmed the pieces so that there were all level with the rest of the pieces. I used the double stick carpet tape to permanently attached the remaining pieces, the carefully cut Gaff tape to hold everything nicely together. The little notch is just because the long foam pieces were a little short.

After 30 minutes of tinkering, it ended up like this:

My case is the same one.
IA few items I did were:

Drill a small hole in the foam on the side to store the "key" used to remove
the ipad lock.  That way you don't have to fish for it

also

I keep an extra foam pad under the front of the 1608 when packed up.
When I use the mixer, I lift the front edge and stand up the foam block.  Not only does
this allow for easy sliding of the ipad, but it also exposes the entire front for ventilation.

on the inside under the mixer there is room to store an extra router and cord as well as a spare power supply

I can keep the apple router and primary power supply in the space behind the mixer

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I measure it to be about 2" tall by 2" deep. I tried something 3" deep and due to the bottom being tapered it was too much. I'm trying to find a local source for that black Polyethylene foam.

That's nice to have a spare AE router!
