Poorly designed and terrible to use
The board itself is usual Rockboard quality and I have no qualms on the quality of that, however this is sold as with an ABS case and as a product as a whole it's abysmal.
The board itself is too small for the case, this is clearly the 5.4 case with some packing foam glued in. The lid of the case has a similar foam arrangement, however the eggshell style foam isn't deep enough to hold the board down when it's closed. This means the weight of the fully loaded board just sits against the foam in the base rather than snuggly held in the case so it can rattle around when being carried. Multiple times I've opened the case after transporting to find the board is just sort of loose in the case.
Speaking of the case, even for ABS construction it feels flimsy. The closing mechanism is annoying but functional but any tall people wanting to wheel this around, as it does come with wheels, will find the handle it awkwardly positioned to hit you in the back of the thigh as you're pulling it, or if you have a guitar on your back repeatedly smack into the back of your guitar case. The wheels are loud and not great to use as they're small, any minor bump or unlevel pavement or road the case is unwieldy to pull around.
The overall fit and finish is just not up to standard, just buy the soft carry case if you need a board this big, or look at another brand.
