SAVED MY DESK
So I've had my case for nearly two years, it not only contains my desk but an interface (Roland Duo) Headphone amp, cables and power all tucked just underneath the desk.
The catches did start to show a bit or wear and tear but for the amount of use it gets that is to be expected.
However the important bit is how well does it do the job of a hard case? the answer is very!
Last weekend while working a family festival rather foolishly left my desk in front of the wheels of my car. and after loading everything else decided to drive away.... straight over my case with my desk and all the extras nestled inside. a little confused to the bump i carried on before running over it with the back wheels for good measure. unsuprisigly the case is totalled splintered cracked buckled and warped but to my surprise, inside its caracas everything has survived without even a scratch all dials attached and straight.
So here i am buying the same case again to replace the flat one, so it can continue to protect my desk after its comrade gave its life to do so.

Does exactly what you expect
Great choice for safer and more comfortable transportation with a cheap price.
I bought Thomann Mix Case 4044I as a hard case for Soundcraft EFX 8 Analog mixing desk, we used to actively use it for about 6 month after which we switched to a different mixing desk. So far it has proven to be trustworthy, durable, able to withstand sizable amounts of weight (As we don't have a big car, we had to put all hard cases including this one in the bottom of the car. All the musical instruments, drums were put on hard cases to save space for other gear. It became a routine every time we had to play a concert using our own gear to put this case in the bottom or middle).
Pros:
1) Durable and trustworthy
2) Reasonable price, even cheaper than some cases made from cloth
3) Has enough space for mixer + a few wires which helped us save a little space in our small car as well
Cons:
1) Henges are made from plastic, but still have a strong feel
2) Inside the case is completely flat, "rubberlike", safer amortisation could be achieved with cube foam.

Mix case
Got me this case for my Soundcraft EFX8 mixer.
Has enough space to store power outlets maybe one or two cables under the mixer.
The fitting is ok too. No major displacements of the mixer while on the road.
Cushioning is fair, and the foam on top is working nicely by holding the mixer in its place when in upright position.
Loved the latches in the back, well thought through.
The latches in the front are also good but not very promising.
The handle is nice and comfy for carrying the case.
It maybe could have a shoulder strap as well, would be a nice addition!
When the case arrived one corner cushion was not glued to its position and was just moving around in the case.
Not a good sight for a new case. Quality test didn't see that on its way out.
Overall a good value for money and a fair case that doesn't ruin a tight budget.

fairly good. has cracked a bit but has been used quite heavily. seems to be holding up well to the road. would buy again as it is much better than the bags.

Not bad
- not the highest quality materials used.
- cover cannot be taken off to use the mixer in the case without taking it out.
+ great price
+ easy way to transport mixer.

Excellent.
One thing i have noticed about cases is that when locked, you feel like you could tug at and bust it open. its just me being paranoid, the the locks on this case alone are fantastic. once locked they do not budge! Brilliant quality case.

Thomann Mix case
Excellent quality and good looking hard case, does its job very well. The quality is very impressive especially considering the reasonable price. Very snug fit and very protective. Highly recommend!
