In the field of guitar cases there is no difference between a case for a classical or a flamenco guitar. No matter whether you buy a Carlton, Humicase, Accord, BAM, Hiscox, ... what else, forget about the "advantage" of a hygrometer. This is just a pseudo advantage and in fact means nothing, because they are defnitely not worth even a word to mention! There are 3 types of hygrometers: 1) Hair hygrometer 2) Synthetical hygrometer 3) Spiral hygrometer The most precise mechanical hygrometers are hair hygrometers only. All other types have a tolerance beginning at 35 % and are strictly useless! I currently don´t know any case containing a hair hygrometer. For the calibrating the hygrometer it needs to be de-installed. As far as I´m informed this is not possible on any present case available. The most important a case needs is a strong stability to protect the guitar at best. E. g. a domed top leads off the impact energy to the frame of the case while a flat top forewards the energy directly onto the guitar body. Premium products have their difference in some details such as general material (wood, carbon fiber), better water protection, type of handle and one-click premium locks. So dot get blinded by the no-advantage of the hygrometer! Note: For a genereal long time storage of the guitar I never would use a carbon fiber case. It isolates the guitar totally from its outside atmosphere. This means that carbon fiber does not breath, because premium products like Akkord or Carlton have locking rubber lips locking the guitar hermetically. A wood case is breathing a little bit even through its synthetic or leather cover. Carbon fiber is used at best for travelling.
