Nice and light but not all good..
Purchased this case to replace a tired old plywood and aluminium rack which had seen a LOT of use.
I liked the fact that you could mount devices to the front and back of the case. I fitted a shelf in the rear for some non-standard devices and a connector plate with speakons and USB for convenient access to the amps and digital audio ports
However I did not think the case would take much abuse on the road. The plastic is somewhat brittle and worst of all, the front and rear covers are secured with cheap butterfly catches. These are very loose and the covers have a tendency to fall off in transit - not good!
I guess I will keep it for now but will find an alternative the next time round..

Has few important flaws
Overall it's kind of ok but has few details to be careful with:
- The lids don't feel secure with the latches they have. They don't keep well pressed and secured against the rack.
- Handle bars are very thin which gets really uncomfortable to use for carrying the rack even for a short distance of 10 meters.
- Overall plastic seems pretty fragile/cheap.
- The rail holes are not evenly distributed, at least my case, I couldn't fit of my pieces of gear due to that. I had to have a work around to avoid losing time as I needed it to move will all my equipment for some gigs.

Good only for light weighted equipment
6U of anything probably weighs something. I loaded it up with not so heavy equipment and it is not stable and does not feel trustable. I haven't broken it, neither noticed any quality issues. But I will replace it with something more reliable very soon. At the moment I cannot image any use for it for future.

Sturdy case for transporting
Sturdy case for transporting your rack equipment. Hard plastic, hard to break I think. Been using this for my 8 ch interface and the equipment I need with it, and it works. A little too big to carry comfortably, but it shields my stuff.
Good quality, good price.

not very good, but unbeatable price
It's stable and stackable enough, and the plastic is solid enough.
The problem is the screw holes: they don't age well and can't be changed. I would recommend this case as a single-use one (after all, it is twice cheaper as the cheapest alternative) : it's fine if you install gear in it once for all, but it won't survive swapping its content around more than a few of times.

Weight distribution issue
The weight distribution is an issue when you start to near 4U's worth of rack. The case starts to feel like it can't take anymore weight before the plastic weakens.
The handling is extremely uncomfortable as the handles are metal and ribbed, which makes it intolerable moving with so much weight inside.
It is a durable case but I would not recommend using expensive gear in this case, rather use it as a home studio desktop case. Having said that, the case can take a hit.

Good but not perfect!
The outer case is pretty good especially for the price but the holes of the screws at the back do not all match with the other side perfectly which can be an issue! Not impressed but quite good for a budget case.

Good price-quality ratio. Good rack for storing 19"process, with good stability and fair strength. However, to carry heavier equipment such as application, the handles are a bit uncomfortable.
