After many weeks of research, reading reviews and watching videos I bought the Thon 8U Live 40 rack. My touring days are over and I just needed something to keep my gear neet and tidy in my studio while alowing for the ocasional trasport. I was very supprised and delighted then this case arrived at my door. The build quality is superb and the features are equial to those found on higher priced cases. The latches are spring loaded as such the more out of your way when opening the case but donot cause a problem when latching. the edges are smooth and interlock snuggly for a secure and solid fit. The handels are spring loaded as well keeping them out of the way when not needed. I did notice that the finish on the inside around the the hardware had chipped off during transport. I will take some time to clean that up before putting the case into use. Great case, on par with more expensive units I would not hesitate to take this unit out on the road. Great job.
