An excellent case!
This case is a fantastic size, I can still fit a BOSS size pedal behind the helix to put in a loop. I also put all my cables on top of the helix and the lid still closes easily. The only two complaints I have are the fact the case is not completely black (which is a non issue but aesthetics are important to some) and the handle. The case is very well designed but the weight of the case and helix combined means the handle feels quite uncomfortable to carry for extended periods. If the handle was slightly thicker with more material to hold on to it would be much more comfortable.

Fits Like a Glove
I bought this case to bring Helix to band rehearsals. Initially I also considered buying a bag, but decided on the case for better protection.
And for that it's great - build quality seems adequate. The unit fits in the case snugly and you don't need to worry about damaging it. Looks like a flight case usually does. The "Thon" label could have been smaller though :)
Only a few minor issues. The case is a bit heavy combined with the weight of Helix. This is unavoidable though if making a sturdy plywood case. The handle feels little flimsy for a case this heavy. The latches take some extra effort to fasten.
There could have been a bit more room for cables, but taking a bit time you can get them there.
Over all I think I made the best choice available for Helix.

Very protective, but also very heavy
The case makes very well the job it is built for. It has the right protections in the right place.
Weak point is the weight, it's pretty heavy. Make also sure to perfectly fit the two pieces of the case, because the metallic borders are not too hard.

Good quality case
Got this case with my Helix in a bundle. Fits the unit perfectly. Decent quality fittings.
The build quality could be higher but it's good enough and fit for purpose. Dunno how long it will last if used very regularly but I expect to use my Helix more for recording than gigging and so it's ok for me. The clasps are a bit fiddly sometimes, when closing I sometimes 'miss' the catch and have to do it again. There were some rough bits in side in the 'cable' area of the case (bits of splinter from screws coming through etc.) but nothing of major concern.
if you plan to travel the world and gig 4/5 nights a week then maybe a stronger flight case is needed but otherwise this case is perfect.

Fits the Helix well, with room for a couple of cables too. However the Helix is positioned near the handle side of the case, which means that gravity pushes it down and deforms the foam a bit when carried, which eventually means the unit can move around a little inside. The only other downside is that the case lifts the unit a centimetre or two further off the floor so you need to use your whole leg rather than just your toes for the bottom row of switches, but that is surely unavoidable if you want to leave the unit inside the case during play.

The case is really good and offer a nice amount of protection, but is a bit to heavy to carry arround daily.
