Wow!!! OMG, I was not expecting to receive such a wonderful case for $59! The quality is outstanding. Excellent buckles, excellent soft interior, and one classy looking guitar case! Love the white stitching. Couldn't be happier. I was in the guitar store yesterday and a gentleman was purchasing a hard guitar case for $129. It looked cheaper than this one, LOL . I had to tell him about this case and told him don't waste his money on the more expensive case. So he didn't buy it and is going to order this one instead! Wow, what more can I say! Thank you Chromecast!!!

I ordered this case for my pheasant fans (burlesque) as the fans are 37" tall and I wasn't able to find a hard case for fans. This case was a pleasant surprise! It came in 2 days and did not have any damage to the case. The case is well insulated/lined and includes keys for the lock, which I haven't used yet. It is a lot heavier than I expected it gives me peace of mind that my fans wont be damaged when travelling.

I couldn't give it 5 stars because my case arrived locked with the key inside it. I tried to pry it open and shake the key out but it wouldn't come out. I ended up breaking the latch to get it open I guess because now it won't latch closed. I just decided too much hassle to send back I will find a latch somewhere and just replace it. I bought this for my 70's Aria Pro II LP and it does fit inside the case. My big surprise was that I tried my Ibanez Artist AR250 in it and it fits like a glove and matches the curves perfect. I have read and been told that the Artist models don't even fit in the Ibanez brand cases. I was going to start looking for a case for it but now that issue is solved. For that reason I am giving it 4 stars even with the whole latch thing. The hinges for the handle are pretty thin I will keep an eye on those, maybe replace. Unfortunately with things made in China they have to figure out ways to make things cheaper for more profit, hardware is always poor.

This is a decent case, considering the price. Certainly equivalent in quality to the cheap hard cases that GC puts on sale all the time.

I returned it because it was just too long for my short scale bass. I was looking for a better fit for my Gretsch Electromatic G2220 (I found the perfect case, by the way--the Gator GC-ELEC-XL, yep, the "extra-long" guitar case. Fits my Gretsch like a GLOVE!)

I bought this case to store my Les Paul studio in while it's not being played. It will see light transport and no gigging. I do not believe this case would stand up to much abuse.

PROS:
The case is competitively priced.
My Gibson Les Paul Studio fits perfectly in the case.
The interior will be adequate for protecting the guitar during light transport and storage.

CONS:
The case handle is very flimsy and feels like it could give way at any moment. (I can see the rivets holding the handle to the flimsy metal frame are very loose and not completely mushroomed.)
The latches are easily unbuckled by accident and also feel cheap.
The case is somewhat flimsy.

This case is a great deal if you're looking for a way to store your instrument when not in use. It will stand up to light transport, I would not use this for gigging purposes. I would also not trust this case in the event of an accidental drop or handle failure. I don't regularly drop my cases or instruments. I like to have a little peace of mind knowing the case will protect my investment as much as possible if an accident were to occur. I do not believe it is rigid enough nor does it have enough padding to withstand a drop and completely project the instrument. With that said, I do believe it's a great deal for my purposes and overall I'm thoroughly satisfied.
