Bought this as mainly a case for travelling with. Its brilliant! I can store 3 instruments + mutes or 4 instruments. There is space for back straps, but the case is quite heavy so I doubt that this would be a viable option. The front pouch is good for storing cleaning stuff and an amount of music, but isn't particularly large. The handle and wheels are easy to manoeuver when travelling. The case is good quality, and I would trust it in the luggage hold of an aeroplane (with strict instructions on what it contains!). Only downside is that's it's to big and bulky for everyday use!
