Features

The handles are awkwardly placed, making this big bulky thing hard to maneuver. It would be much better if the handles were on alternate sides like the gator cases so it could be easily carried sideways to get up stairs. Big as it is, there is only one skinny handle in the middle.

Ease of Use

The case is hard to close. I had a gator case for my 88 keyboard and although the fit was snug, it easily closed and latched. This skb junk requires me to constantly adjust the lid by opening and closing and trying to align the grooves together. Takes too much time when tryning to leave the stage.

Quality

this case is CHEAP. It looks indestructible but the lid never aligns correctly requiring me to take time to "fix" the lid over the case. I just bought this case in May (4mths ago). There were 4 latches and now there are only 2. The other 2 broke off. for $400-$500 dollars, this case is as delicate as toilet paper. It would have been cheaper to have a case custom made for my 88key es90. I only bought this case because gator did not make one quite long enough for my keyboard to fit.

Value

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

The Wow Factor

It's not appealing at all. It's not sleek, it's utilitarian, bulky, and there was no thought in the design. I am trying to get gator to make me a custom case.
