If it gets stolen it will probably be replaced with an SBK, but for the price you can't beat it, this is a quality case for a fair price; it will last a long time if not abused.

Sound
No sound from a case unless you use it as a cajon; by the way ZZounds rocks; I got this case in three days after I placed the order; plus the 4 installment payment plan is awesome, I can't buy any gear anywhere else this easy; the guys working there are very courteous and patient, customer service is top notch.

Features
This case is very well made (in China) and it does what it's supposed to do, protect a guitar; unfortunately ZZounds does not carry the SBK in jumbo size or I would have gotten that one instead, I think SBK's are better made cases with higher quality and workmanship but this is a very good case; it has a nice size compartment to store a tuner, spare strings and some picks or a cable. The latches are nicely riveted and they are lockable; the handle is sturdy, the aluminum balance is not 100% lined up in one spot but once it is closed it is tight. The lining is soft and plush, great case. It came with two keys.

Ease of Use
No manual here, put your axe in it and close the case, you can lock the latches if you need to.

Quality
Sturdy enough to use on road trips but I would not put anything heavy on top of it, even though it is a hard shell and it is very well… read more padded.

Value
I think it is a good deal for 89 bucks; a lot better than a cheap cardboard 30 dollar case, and definitely way better than no case at all; it will keep my grand kids from getting in and scratching my guitar.

Manufacturer Support
No support needed is the best support.

The Wow Factor
Thinking about it I would have either ordered the laminated wood one or an SBK; it just looks like a big plastic block, put some stickers on it an make it more appealing to your macho side if you want.
