I have ordered many cases from Glarry, but sad to say, this is my least favorite. It is ALMOST a good case. Almost. The general layout is good; enough room for the body without too much, enough room for the headstock at the other end, decent width overall. Thick padding on the top of the case to help keep the guitar in place when it's closed. The problems come about when you consider the middle section, where the neck rests.

I have ordered many cases from Glarry, but sad to say, this is my least favorite. It is ALMOST a good case. Almost. The general layout is good; enough room for the body without too much, enough room for the headstock at the other end, decent width overall. Thick padding on the top of the case to help keep the guitar in place when it's closed. The problems come about when you consider the middle section, where the neck rests. The slots hold the neck pretty well, but the door for the compartment is placed badly. It is hinged along the latch-side of the case, so when you pick the case up, any small items inside the compartment will fall out immediately. I suppose someone decided to try something different somewhere...but this doesn't work. It just doesn't. It would be fine if they had hinged it on a different side, but in this case, well...not the best design decision, and it renders the storage compartment mostly unusable for small items or guitar tools, unless you want to risk scratching up your guitar's neck. If you're just using it for a guitar strap it will be fine, however.
Overall, barring the storage compartment, I like this case. It's tough enough and the latches and other hardware seem decent, but the storage compartment may be a deal breaker for some people. A solid four out of five, unless storage compartments are very important to you.
