My first of two Ameritage cases arrived today. My first reaction was Wow! That is one tough case! And beautiful too! I got the dred case, gold series, best fit for the models I'm building now. Yes, as others have said, heavy and big. But I like that.    Love the humidity control device |

My customs were about what you posted. Pat |

They do very nice custom embroidery (for logos & such) for a very reasonable cost too. I like em' a lot, but they are HEAVY. |

I like the insides of those Hiscox cases. The outsides are ugly... but I get the fact that they are more about function. For future references, do they offer discounts? I checked their website, did the dealer search and nothing came up. |

My last customer bought a custom colored Hoffee. Darn heavy case, I thought. On the other habd I kinda like the "whup" sound it makes when you open it and break the airtight seal. |

When I saw this topic I was assuming that you had tested a bullet proof case, was hoping for some gunshots. Oh well. |
