not very good, but unbeatable price
Fredeke 18.03.2020
It's stable and stackable enough, and the plastic is not too bad: enough for absorbing moderate shocks without breaking I would guess.

The problem is the screw holes: after a few uses, they're completely useless. Since this is a by (very) far the cheapest rack case you'll find, I would say it's a "single use" case: you can swap the gear in it a couple of times, after which the case is to be discarded. Now if the idea is to install gear in it once for all and never take it out, then you would be fine.

I'ts a simple rack case
eelcob 06.03.2020
Nice case for its price. Low buget, does what is needs to do. Have bought one to house a small 1HE server and 2HE router for events. To keep them safe, and for easy transport.

Yes, its plastic.. but the pro is, it bends a bit when hit. The con of this is that when the rack case is loaded with a bit of weight, whole bottom side does colapses a bit.. one rack is now standing on the aluminium rims, instead of his feet. I suspect on the inside its almost resting on the router now.

I have bought another one to house another set of switches, because of easy transport, but when i stack the two together they are not realy stable.. I'ts standing on its four feet, on top of the other case, where i would have expected a recess for them on top of the bottom case..

They slide a bit on each other, but dont fall off. Stable stacking of multiple cases could propose an issue unfortunately..

Deep enough for large amps
roast 02.10.2018
This was the only portable rack case I could find which was deep enough to house my Ashdown ABM600 Bass Power Amplifier. All others were just too short. The zipped mesh in the lid is very useful for storing power/speaker cables, though it would have been nice to see this on both lids. One other small complaint is that the inner plastic has no mounting points, nor do the racks have inner rails for affixing the rear of an amplifier (such as mine, or the Ampeg SVT-4-Pro. Without these, the amplifier is only supported by it's own ears; which of course is fine if the ears are steel. Not so much if they are thin aluminium.
Other than that, the handles are sturdy, the plastic is tough and it takes a lot of abuse. Overall, very good.

Excellent value
AudioSpike 28.03.2018
Very good case and a bargain at this price range.
The plastic material is solid enough for good protection, it would take a substantial impact to crack/break it. you could easily stack other gear on top of this case without the worry of weight cracking in (no 18" bass bins now, but other cases, even monitors, etc is fine).
The material also makes the case quite lightweight which makes it ideal for pulling in/out of vans or location work.
The latches are good quality and lock well, no complaints.
It has held up well for me, as long as you are carefully and easy opening and closing the latches this case will last you a long time.

Handles need improving.
rocketjosh 30.01.2020
On the whole I am relatively happy with this case, however one of the handles broke away on the first gig when being loaded into a van. It now hangs from one side. The metal clasps that attach the handles at either end are too flimsy and definitely need improving. If I had my time again, I would spend the extra on a slightly more expensive case.

The price of this case is excellent, so if you're not travelling with it much then it's probably fine. For a gigging musician, I would recommend spending a little more on something slightly heavier duty.

You won't find cheaper for the same quality
Anonymous 05.10.2016
Just a great thing for that price. Using it both indoors and outdoors, helps a lot when carrying the rather big amount of gear. It's a bit of a backbone killer as with all what's inside it weights approx. 15 kilo. Though the case itself barely gives a quarter of that weight.

And just a couple of smallish issues, the handle could have been made a bit wider than it is. The current one makes my palm hurt after 5-10 minutes. And the other one - the rack rails they have a couple of backslashes. Though it's not crucial at all, all the gear perfectly fits in.

And I've almost forgotten. If you want to put lots of stickers on it's surface - you'd better chose another unit. It doesn't let anything to stick on!

Nice price
locomajor 11.03.2020
As you often "get what you pay for" this case is perfect for its purpose.
I wish it had a "more standard" fit on top of an amp. Then it would have been more stable but it works.

I recommend this product.

Functional and straight forward
djneto 14.02.2023
Some option to lock with key could be nice. It does feel very sturdy but that is why its so lightweight. So far satisfied with product as expected.

Decent gear
Christopher892 16.05.2013
Nearly as good as a gator case, but cheaper! The only downside is that the handles are a little bit stretchy, rather than the nice metal bars that you get on a gator case. But it is sturdy and offers all the protection you need. Over 100 gigs so far, and it hasn't broken!
