Just looking at the picture, I don't like the lid padding putting pressure on the bridge. Should be over the neck and tailpiece only.

I have the faux smooth brown leather one. It looks great, but the lid is slightly warped. It's OK for less expensive mandolins, but I'd go for something sturdier if you've got a pricier instrument.
Being right is overrated. Doing right is what matters.

I have some of their guitar cases and they are decent. Don't let that vintage tag lull you into thinking you can throw an early Gibson A style in there. It looks like the headstock would be laying on the pick case.
There's a thread here from a while back discussing these. Found it, they were discussing the fiberglass model.

It's a nice looking case with shoulder strap/backpack straps. My concern would be the fit. 10.8" wide inside is going to leave a lot of flopping around space for most mandolins.
