Smorg - your opinion if you please..........

despite my board having it's own postcode, it's still hardcase all the weigh (sic) for me. Yes, I herniate when I even look at it, but my board cost circa £4-5k. No way i'd entrust that to a bum-bag. Have had too many sheered off controls touring with gig bags or ill fitting cases over the years to even chance it now.

I'm a soft case advocate but yes, for touring where things get chucked around, a hard case is the way. But as mentioned, for probably most buyers, touring isn't the principal activity, taking to rehearsal or the local one off gigs is more likely.

Is there a way you could make a hardcase from polycarbonate? It's what safety glasses are made from and it has impact resistance. Then there's 3DO which is used in sportswear for protection. Just ideas!

The obvious solution is to make everything - everything - out of kevlar.

Worst prophylactic ever.

im in a similar position. 

I originally bought the softcase with my pedalboard pro but its too flimsy and the protection is woeful.

It had to be a hardcase for me. Luckily mine has wheels built into it

 Mono cases, your product is very high quality, so it'll be a great match.

The best thing I ever did was to (hard) flight case all my gear. It means I don't have to worry about it in-transit (I don't have a Transit, actually), which means less stress and more enjoyable gigs.

Even original (guitar) cases are not up to the job - I worry about scuffing/damaging them (eg. my latest purchase - a Yamaha SA2200).

I do use a Mono Vertigo for one of my guitars, but only a battered old Jap Tele. I wouldn't transport one of my "valuable" guitars in it, despite their quality.
