“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...

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”
