luke.park -> Black, strappy hard case...? (Sep. 24 2008 12:51:36)

Right, so I don't know what to call it but I'm looking to buy a hard case with a long carry strap attached. I saw a few people had them in Sanlucar and they're really practical.
The ones I saw were black and quite rounded, inda like cello cases in a way, buut I can't remember who had one and I'm not sure where to look....
does any one here have one and might know where I should go a-knockin? [:)]

thanx!

What you describe may be a fiberglass case made by Eastman. It could also be a more expensive flight case like karura.

If it's the fiberglass, they are widely available. I have seen them in US and Spain. Not sure where you are located, but here are a couple of links.

I have a black Eastman fiberglass case. I think the Metro case has thicker padding and storage under the neck. The Eastman just has a pouch in the headstock compartment. The case is light, but IMHO not as protective as a standard hard case. I got mine for about $100 off Ebay. I saw a Hixcox on Ebay for about $120 which would be better, though I like the look of the fiberglass.

Karura cases are supposed to be strong enough to use as checkable luggage.

There was a post about cases recently, and a picture of Tomatito with a fiberglass case.

How 'bout this?

Black fibreglass case, watertight seal (which means no sharp edge). detachable shoulder straps...
