At first glance that case looks really nice, and I'm sure an many ways it is. I have an Eastman fiberglass case, and this looks like a significant upgrade from something like that. Looking more closely though at details, that lack of padding at the end pin is totally a recipe for disaster IMHO, as has already been stated. If I were a case designer (watch out, world), I'd think that padding around the entirety of the instrument body (even at the end pin) would be at the top of my list. Still I'd be tempted to check one out. Maybe the folks at Bobelock would be nice enough to send a little extra padding material so customers could upgrade that part of their otherwise nice cases.
