SKB 62 Jag/Jazz

If I had to describe this case in one word, that word would be “flimsy”. The plastic outer shell is so weak that I was able to press it in with one finger. I cannot imagine the guitar surviving the impact of somebody sitting on the top of this case. Also, the cushioning foam appears to not be attached all that well to the shell of the case. It was already separating from it near the edges. Worst of all, the lid has to be manipulated in order to be closed, for the two aluminum valances do not fit together very well. Not much more expensive Hiscox cases are vastly superior in terms of quality and rigidity. The only good things I can say about this SKB one are that the plush-lined interior is very pleasant to the touch, that it fits the guitar like a glove, that the large inner compartments are great for storing cables and other items, and that the handle is comfortable to hold. You would probably get similar level of protection by using one of Mono soft cases, but at half the weight.
