Ok rack case
Let's start with the good first:
The black finish is great and draws little attention to the rack case if you need to put it up on stage. The logo is pretty terrible, but a bit of black gaffers tape took care of that problem.
The locks seems sturdy and can be padlocked or tie-wrapped shut for safe transport.
It has so far survived 1.5 months of daily transport to and from the venue where I've gigged daily since late October. Locks, feet, and handle are still working fine, and have not come loose or shown any weakness.
Now for the less good:
Handle and feet are made from hard plastic. So far it's still intact, but I'm positive something is going to crack and splinter sooner or later.
It's far from the most protective rack case. The walls are very thin, and the walls do sag inwards a bit, so it's not very stiff.
If you need a simple rack to house your equipment, and aren't planning to transport it a whole lot it's a fine product. It'll survive being transported in the back of your car to and from gigs, but I would be hesitant to fly with it, or stack it in the back of a truck with tons of heavy cases. It just feels a bit too flimsy for that.
To summarise:
If you need good protection, buy something more expensive. This will probably not survive something heavy dropping on top of it, and I'm very hesitant of leaving this to baggage handlers or transport couriers since I'm not sure it would survive being tossed around.
But if you just need a simple, low profile mounting case for some rack equipment, this will do that job just fine.
