I purchased this case so that I could take my synth rig on the road. I had previously been using a soft sided case, which was fine for around town, and when I could keep things close to me. However, I started traveling to my gigs on airplanes and I couldn’t reliably carry my guitar and this rig as carry-on luggage. I have purchased phone cases in the past, and I’ve never been disappointed. The hardware is extremely durable, the handles are sturdy and comfortable to carry, and the sides of the case, really protect the synth head inside. It is a little bit heavy, but you would expect that from a sturdy built case. I would not recommend this for around town, as it is overkill.
I have use this on dozens of airline trips, and I’ve never had any problems. For me, and it is an individual choice of course, the peace of mind that I get from having this case means I will be ready to go on the other side.
