The case seems pretty sturdy and I was surprised with how light it is but the biggest negative side for me is the central screw. The plastic around the screw is too short for the amount of cymbals you can fit in the case so you have to add another one on top of it, which then brings the problem of tightening the screw with the nut. Also, the center screw is the only thing holding the two parts of the case together so it can feel wobbly on the edges. It's a good case if you are going to carry it from your car to the gig, but I wouldn't suggest it if you need to carry it on foot all the time.
