They seem to be really sturdy and the hardware is fixed to an aluminium rail that runs round the edging of the two case halves. I haven't had many where i have taken the case as i usually take a gig bag. However these days with more band members i have decided to take my bass in the hiscox case and have it in the back with the rest of the gear. The latches seem quite tight when closed and one has a lock (non TSA).
They are both really light I would say not much difference between the Hiscox and my leather gig bag.

Hi Jazzy, glad you got sorted with Hiscox.  They adapted a case for my Alembic as they did for you and with the minimum of fuss.  Top people.

Nice, looks really great!

Hiscox posted a couple of photos online of my bass in their case today.

Congratulations!

Not gonna pretend here... that bass would make a burlap sack look good!

You know i'm gonna have to look up what a burlap sack is. ;-)

Sacks made of burlap, often used for shipping potatoes.   Here are a couple of my favorites.

Bill, tgo

During hard times some folk would make dresses out of them, which brought out a well used phrase when complimenting an individual's good looks:  "You would make a burlap dress look good."

Compliment, definitely a compliment.
