I'll keep the case for now, but since I do intend on buying a backup for my current guitar I'll be in the market for a matching case. This one is decent, but I still think it's a bit pricey. The SKB case seems a bit more reasonable, but I'll have to find out for myself.
Sound
It's a case. If it's making sounds you better call an exorcist. :)
Features
Not much in terms of features and accessories, a pretty standard case. You get a set of keys to lock up your guitar and a small compartment for extra strings, straps, tools, etc.
Ease of Use
It took me a minute to figure out how to open this darn thing. The locks also act as buttons that push outward (away from the middle of the case), disengaging the latches. A bit of an odd configuration methinks.
Quality
Quality is fair. The vinyl looks nice and so does the acrylic interior. It's a pretty tight fit for my Classic Player Jazzmaster, so I'm not worried about it sliding around or anything like that. The handle seems a bit flimsy, that might be something to look out for in the future.
Value
I wish this could have been cheaper. For the price, the quality could be a little better. The case does its job, but the vinyl doesn't look like it would stand the rigors of a touring musician for very long. I'm sure there are better alternatives to having this particular case.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with Fender about anything yet, don't intend to.
The Wow Factor
Black looks nice with everything - complements my black Jazzmaster well.
