decent enough case, could use better finish
I have 2 of these cases I use with some power amps. I added some rack rails at the back of the case to support the amp and add a speakon panel.
These amps are used with installation work and travel only occasionally. The case is perfect for that. I'm not sure if I would trust it for daily life on the road, for the reasons below.
the butterfly latches only have just enough room to be put in, and closing them can be a bit tricky, but it's ok once you get used to it.
The 7mm plywood feels sturdy enough in this size of case (in thons bigger case it can flex a bit), The aluminium rails are sturdy, as are the handles. But (as with other wooden thon cases I have) the rivets used to connect them to the wood are just punctured through the wood (instead of through a drilled hole), and on the inside, it looks a bit messy, with splinters and bits of wooden shavings on the inside of the case. I had to file them off with a bit of sandpaper and then tape some gaffa over the insides to make sure I wouldn’t get a splinter in the hustle and bustle of a build down, and to stop from wood dust entering the case during transport.
All in all, a decent enough case, especially for this price. But you need to clean the case up a bit before first use, and if you are touring daily, you might look at something slightly sturdier.

Nice stirdy Rack
Only drawback is, there are no rails in the back. But otherwise very good!

Very good value
Thon have a good range of cases and a good price point. A few points make it not perfect though.
1. The extruded aluminum cage nuts is a little tight on internal width. At first a Steinburg URC81C would not fit! Sliding nuts is convenient, but it does impact the internal width of the module you're putting in
2. I would have preferred that the mounting feet are bolted on rather than riveted. I don't want the feet so I'm going to have to hack the rivets off
3. This one is just being picky. I would have preferred that the latches are the full size ones. These seem to be more like 3/4 size.

Een Rack case van goede kwaliteit
Enkele weken gelden kocht ik deze rack case, Deze case's waren snel geleverd en de afwerking is goed.
Sommige rivetten zitten helaas gewoon in het hout. Persoonlijk zou ik als deze niet in een aluminium profiel zitten er altijd een rondel achter steken.
Maar voor de rest ben ik zeer tevreden van de afwerking.
Helaas zit er geen label houder in deze case. Maar dit is op voorhand geweten dus je mag er niet over klagen.
