Protection:
Purchased this with the intent of using it as a carry on for my flight. However, the airline in question was unable to accommodate and the case with the guitar inside was put into the plane's storage. Now most individuals who have traveled with a guitar know that flying can be one of the worst experiences because of improper and even rough handling during transportation. Fortunately, after several hours worrying about the guitar's safety, I was pleased to find that no harm had come to it in the slightest. I believe the extra neck support and sturdy padding of the case were responsible for the successful protection.
Comfort & Travelability:
The features of this case are not simply limited to protection. This case is also quite comfortable to have on one's back. I would often ride my bicycle to and from events, work, and other activities with this case in tow. The shoulder straps were conveniently placed to be easily tucked away when necessary. However, a quick 15 seconds was all it took to pull them back out and be on my way weaving around through city traffic. During much of my travels I hardly noticed the weight since the case settled nicely against my back and giving me no pain or discomfort. In fact, I often would forget I had the guitar on my back and would be reminded of this error when I would hit the head of the case against a door frame. This level of comfort extended to the carrying handle. I personally preferred carrying this thing compared to a hardcase with an unyielding handle.
Construction:
The case is made of a sturdy material which not only protects the instrument from falls but grants some resistance to the elements such as rain and snow. However, I would rely on this sparingly to ensure longevity. The stitching is of a sturdy pattern, especially at the connection points of the straps and handle and I highly doubt they will fail at any point in the near future. The strength of the stitching also extends to the zippers. I was quite surprised by how sturdy it felt when I first unzipped the case. It feels like the case would have little trouble holding together for a heavier guitar such as a Les Paul.
Features:
The four pockets on this case were convenient for holding my phone, laptop, and even a small travel amplifier.
*Please do note the instrument does sit higher on the back and the head and neck of the guitar will sit well above your head.*
