Comparing an SKB case I've had for 5 years before a plastic latch shattered and a new Hiscox Pro II Stratocaster / Tele case. Hiscox retail price is only about $50 more. Protection? well it's just a bit better... https://youtu.be/dVzmaMczLow If Hiscox made pedalboard cases, I'd buy one today! Pros: - all the stuff you've heard; best combo of price, weight and protection you can get - the ivory version is better year-round insulation - the free extra fitment pads are excellent; if you don't want to sew them up, get the sealed version - oustanding product, and an artist version with more/better bumpers/feet and TSA metal latches would be an excellent option to have Cons: - Falls over too easily. The feet aren't wide enough apart. Needs 4 feet instead of 3. - Not enough additional feet/bumpers. Adding a few more like Calton does is worth the extra cost - Latches are good. A version with the artist latches and TSA locks is worth the extra cost
