This case is sh*t.
If you buy this, you will truly get what you pay for. The only things I really like about it are the two handles and the large accessory pouch (large enough for a trombone stand.) That, and it's extremely light. (Fully loaded weighs less than my wooden hardshell case empty.)
However, the build quality is TOTALLY substandard. After a few months of use, everything on the inside seems to be falling apart. The placement of foam pieces inside the case seem to be totally haphazard, and I had to seriously consider how to put my slide inside the case to avoid damaging it. The panel separating the bell section and other accessories from the slide has come loose, and freely slides around at one end. The compartment door seems to be held on only by fabric and glue (it's pulled shut by elastic.) The pieces of foam on either side of the valve/tuning slide assembly have come mostly unstuck... Did I leave anything out? Oh that's right, there are two mouthpiece slots near the bell section, but one of them is only about half covered by the opposite foam piece when the case is closed. The backpack straps are absolutely dreadful as well. They are attached with plastic clips, and have the strangest ways of getting tangled up or unlatched with the least bit of pressure in the wrong direction.
My overall opinion is that this is garbage, and slidebone should be ashamed to carry such a horrible product.
