VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality: I have a Kurzweil PC-88MX, and the case simply can't handle the weight of the keyboard. It bends, the handles pull off, it's not pretty. And they expect this thing to survive a flight? I barely trust it on the road. If you don't abuse your cases much (i.e. don't travel) you probably won't have an issue, but even for semi-regular gigging it doesn't hold up. Value: I'm looking into getting a different case because it's not sturdy enough, but like I said, SKB stands behind its product. For the price, it may be better to go with Calzone Cases, which is what I'm looking into--they'll build a custom case for about the same as this one, but if weight is an issue the SKB case wins (the case I'm looking into is 10-20 lbs heavier). Manufacturer Support: Customer service is fantastic--they fixed up my case for free (I just had to pay shipping there) and called to make sure it got back to me in good shape. Overall: SKB's guitar cases are much stronger. Don't buy the keyboard case unless weight is your primary concern.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality: This case isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have a 50-pound keyboard (Kurzweil PC88MX) that's been mildly damaged twice from the bumps it received through normal gigging inside the case. It's very heavy, but doesn't protect that well--the center handle once pulled off halfway when the case/keyboard was picked up, and just by pulling one of the end handles to roll the keyboard/case along, the metal bent and curved. I wouldn't trust this on a plane, ATA-certification or not. Manufacturer Support: I needed to get the case repaired (see above), and SKB's customer service was friendly and helpful, hassle-free. The Wow Factor: I thought it was going to be the perfect case, because I wanted something highly protective and SKB's guitar cases are wonderful.

Feature: Just plain tough. The wheels WILL go over any surface you can. It's protected my keyboard for about 6 years. Quality: Every other case is compared to SKB. Have you ever watched your keyboard slide down an stairway? Imagine the tears.. Or the smile you get when you remember you paid a few extra bucks and got SKB Manufacturer Support: I broke a latch. I was broke. I called. The guy at support said my case had a life time warranty. Sent me the latch in good time. Fixed the latch. Played the gig. Efficient and courteous. Overall: I am pleased. I expect to have the case along time.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Feature: I like the option of the puzzle/foam pieces. When used properly it makes for a very effective fit and protection. I am not a big fan of the latches however. I personally haven't had a problem yet, they just seem a little weak. Quality: If you use the puzzle/foam pieces correctly you get a very durable, protective case. People that have had problems that I know of didn't have the interior properly configured. These cases have stood up to military deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq just fine.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality: I own a yamaha P90 and I tried fitting it in the case at a store. SKB says that that the yamaha P90 is supposed to fit. Well it definetly didn't fit. It did fit in the case(length-wise, and width-wise), until I tried closing the case. The case was not deep enough for the keyboard. Value: At double the price than most cases, this is a horrible value. Manufacturer Support: I haven't dealt with their support, obviously since I do not own any of their equipment. However, I have heard from many people that they have lousy customer support. Overall: If you need a good case I would recommend a Gator Tour Style case.
