A very good case to protect your investment. For weight, eh? A bit heavy if you plan to carry it by hand when traveling far (gig bag recommended for that). I got it because it seemed sturdy besides it being made for the Ibanez BTB bass. I wouldn't have mind looking at other cases like an Gator or SKB for my bass over this one but over all I'm happy with this purchase. However I'm still going to get a gig bag for my bass, this is not the case you want to travel with on a subway.

Sound
N/A - I guess if I drop the case it would make a sound, hmmm? Nah, better not do that. :-)

Features
Sturdy and solid. My new BTB bass fits very snug with no movement. Nice plush interior. Large storage area for straps, picks, cords, etc... Decent latches with a lock (but nothing a determined thief couldn't get through). Hinges are fine and lined up well. Same black vinyl material they've been using for decades which will eventually wear, rip, and crack over the years. It's heavier than say a molded SKB case in comparison. It's nothing you want to lug by hand for long extended periods, a gig bag with back pack strap is best for that. Has the "Ibanez" logo sprayed on it, looks like it will wear off easily over time, cheap like.

Ease of Use
It's a case - you flip the latches, open the case, insert or remove your instrument and then close it when your are through. Simple enough.

Quality read more
Personally, I think the case is worth $80 and not the $134 asking price. Still it's a nice solid sturdy case and should nicely protect my investment should I tip it over by accident or something. But I gave it a 9 because a stitch of thread was loose on the corner of my case. The only real thing I'm hoping for is that over time the handle holds up and doesn't come off from carrying it.

Value
Like I said earlier, I think the asking price is a little, just a little bit much in my opinion but it wasn't a deal breaker either.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed them yet (at least not over a guitar/bass case).

The Wow Factor
I have it. Looks fine. The plush interior has the real aesthetic, plus the nice size storage compartment.
