Decided that Brentrup needed a sturdier case for travel than the Airloom. After a lot of thought, decided to call Bluegrass Mandolins and check on the silver-gray Hoffee. It was soon on the way here.
Wow! What a stunning case. Very impressed by the quality. The mandolin fits very well even with a Tone-Gard and armrest. The gel coating seems to hvae little silver flecks that reflect the sunlight. My photos don't convey that well enough.
For storage, I'd say it's about the same as the Airloom. The full neck support lid is better. Fits the case tighter so basically no chance of things falling out. Yes, it is heavier. For my peace of mind it's worth it.
Here are a couple of photos. Figured better do it now before any scratches (and stickers) cover it up.
