Somehow I had a feeling this would be about the Fort case...

I've had one for a few months and here's what I like and dislike.

Like: cost (mine was $50), balance (hangs about 45 degrees to the floor from the hand and goes through doors better), pretty heat resistant in spite of its colour (how do they do that?), fits several of my axes but especially good fit for the S&P dread I bought it for, weight (what weight?), comfortable handle, nice shoulder straps...

Dislike: damn velcro closures like to flip closed at will, inside accessory compartment could be larger, is not very puncture proof, no stay on lid (folds all the way open), industrial style appearance (a matter of taste)...

The benefits far outweigh the liabilities. It's a good case for little cash.

I wish they made a deluxe version. Ballistic cloth exterior, something soft lining the inside, clasps instead of velcro, exterior pocket...blah, blah, blah...but that would sort of defeat the purpose wouldn't it? A better solution might be a simple case cover with pockets etc, made to fit the Fort.

I don't like the Fort as much as the Gator (a hard foam, zippered case) which I also use and paid about the same for (part of a guitar purchase), but normally the Fort would be cheaper. I bet it is great for shipping guitars from the factory.

Peace, Mooh.
