Actually, a friend of mind found it first, and get this, it was under $50... He bought it, and I let him become the Guinea Pig :lol: But when I saw how well is worked, I had to find one fast, and I did, if yall want me to post up pics of mine, just let me know and i will 8)

We travel a lot, so this baby is really about to get a test, but I wouldnt ever put it under a bus or under the plane, It needs to be a carry on situation.

Here is the exact info to Sweetwater if yall wanna get it from them

You're going to put a 2 thousand $ peice of equipment in a fifty dollar bag?
I say bag because case = hard and bag = soft.

Homie, Thanks for the advice, but that can happen with either one of these cases if you or someone else forgets to close it...
Here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=109491
At least with this case, when you pick it up, you know if its opened or closed when you first pick it up.

But, Thats why, when I toured, I use to carry my Digi 002, laptop, Favorite Snare drum, and other MPC myself... they were the first things that i put in cases and walked out to the bus and put on the bus(the Digi 002 and MPC had hard cases then, so they went other the bus still).
