I bought this box 2 weeks ago. This is my first hardcase, before I only had to wear bags backpack. It's good to carry around a guitar in the boot drive, but the subway is close and there is no strap to wear it ...
Most: <ul> the material is PVC so it's light and strong
The box is very stiff thanks in part to the alluvial strapping that goes around the box
there are small aluminum feet to put the box on the side and other PVC place it on the back
lot of aluminum closures and it closes properly (I'll bet, however, on the interest of the key lock ...)
the interior is well finished and the carpet seems thick and of good quality
guitar fits perfectly into the box
there are a lot of forms to properly calibrate the guitar (neck, body)
there is a large compartment in handy as the handle
</ul>
The -: <ul> PVC material is faux leather and the look is always a little plastic
PVC air to easily mark
the cloth strap that keeps the box open at a right angle was detached to the first use, it was clearly established at the glue gun ... but good for € 55 I took on me and I glued to PATEX and since no worries!
</ul>
My opinion:
It is certainly not the best (nothing beats leather) but if you like the style and want Samsonite protect your guitar in the car, train, this box is for you ... For the subway, forget there's no strap to carry it, but hey you know, since not want a hardcase?
Conclusion:
Given the price (55 €) and the relatively good quality of the product, I probably do it again because this choice is the guitar for me is more important than the box ...
