Your brand activation runs on tight timelines. The hardware has to be secure, fast to set up, and impossible to walk off with.
Marketing agencies and brands running gaming activations, product launches, trade show demos, and live event experiences need security hardware that works differently from a permanent institutional install. The setup has to be fast, the cases have to look right on camera, and the consoles have to stay put when hundreds of attendees cycle through. We have been supplying security hardware to marketing and event professionals for over 15 years.
What makes event activations different
Activation setups happen in hours, not days. Hardware that takes a long time to install or requires specialist tools is a liability. Our cases mount with four standard wood screws and no special tools.
Activation hardware gets photographed, filmed, and livestreamed. Our cases are made from crystal-clear cast acrylic so the console branding stays fully visible inside a secure enclosure.
Hundreds or thousands of attendees cycle through an activation. Controllers need to be accessible but not walkable. Tethers keep them at the station without slowing the experience.
Multi-station activations represent thousands in hardware. At a high-energy event with limited staff oversight, unsecured consoles and controllers are at real risk.
A missing controller or a console that goes offline during an activation reflects on the brand, not just the equipment vendor. Security keeps every station running.
Where we work with marketing and event teams
Publishers and studios running public demos of upcoming titles need demo stations that let players experience the game freely while keeping hardware locked to the setup. We have supplied cases and tethers for major game launch events including the NBA 2K14 launch party in Los Angeles.
Fan experience areas at sporting events, music festivals, and entertainment activations use gaming as an engagement tool. These setups need to handle large crowds with minimal supervision from event staff.
Gaming demos at E3-style expos, trade shows, and consumer conventions require clean-looking setups that run reliably over multiple days while the brand’s hardware stays accounted for.
Brands placing product demo stations in retail environments need hardware that survives constant public handling and cannot be removed by shoppers. Our cases allow hands-on demos without hands-off disappearances.
Premium gaming setups in brand hospitality suites, VIP areas, and sponsor lounges need to look polished and protect hardware that is expensive to replace mid-event.
Past activations we have supported
A Los Angeles marketing agency brought us in to design and build custom security cases for the VIP demo area at an NBA 2K release party. The cases needed to secure the consoles cleanly in a high-profile brand environment while keeping the PlayStation hardware fully visible and accessible to VIP guests cycling through the demo experience. The activation ran flawlessly.
NRG Marketing brought us on to secure the consoles for an NBA2K fan activation at the NBA All-Star Jam Session, a massive public event with thousands of attendees cycling through the gaming area. Twenty PlayStation security cases kept the stations operational and fully secured throughout the event. Per NRG: “Your cases were an integral part” of making the activation a success.
We work directly with experiential marketing agencies, event production companies, and brand teams running gaming activations. Whether you need five stations for a VIP lounge or twenty for a fan experience area, we can confirm product availability, volume pricing, and delivery timelines that fit your production schedule. Contact us early in the planning process.

Planning and logistics notes for event teams
Before you order
How to set it up on event day
Use our console security lookup tool to confirm the exact case for each console model. Each case is purpose-built. Do not assume one case fits multiple models.
Install each CAGE™ case with four Phillips-head wood screws to the activation surface. See our installation guides for each model. Budget 10–15 minutes per station including cable routing.
Install controller brackets with the tamper-resistant screws (included bit provided). Route the 10ft USB cables for continuous charging. Test every station before doors open.
