H!, I look for this answer but could not find one. Do you know a hard case that will fit the Lanikai LU22TS? I am looking at: Stagg GCX-UKT-GD, Armored TC-150, Eddy Finn Hippie HC, there is a generic one that is like Yellow Tweed also.
you might want to take your uke to a store and test fits.
not all "sizes" are the same.
Like.. the pono tenor case is a little smaller than the oahu tenor case... which is something I wouldn't have guessed.
Also.. will depend on if you want a tighter or looser fit.
I got the Musician's Gear case for my Luna concert, which came with a gig bag. It is well made, but it did take months before the off-gassing dissipated to where it was not smelly on opening. I liked that it had three locks. At the time, the concert size was the least expensive and it looks like that is still true.
I also got the Luna hard foam case from Musicians Friend - for a non Luna soprano, so go figure. It has a shoulder/backpack combo strap as well as a handle. I really like how versatile it is. I carried it all over Central Park and the New York subway last summer. It is a zipper closure with a velcro cover for both zippers when zipped to the middle of the case. If I can talk myself into the AO soprano, I will probably use that case for it - my Silvertone is in it now. No smell, but you do get that Luna logo on the top pocket. I picked up a fat quarter piece of cloth from JoAnns Fabric for 75 cents to sew over the logo on the pocket - not sure if it will look dorky. Sewing is not my strong suit.
I own an Eddy Finn Hippie hard case myself and your uke appears to be a standard size, so I'd say yes, it probably would. It's a generous enough size to also fit my new Luna 8 string with that much bigger headstock. (I didn't think it would fit but it does - just.)
However, make sure you can return the case if it doesn't fit before you buy it. Most shops will understand and let you do that.
After some research I went with the Stagg, although my first choise was the Amored then Eddy Finn, because is the longer. These are the dimensions I found:
Stagg 710x250x80 ~$55.00
E Finn 698.5x241.34x79 ~$59.00
Armored 685.8x254x76.2 ~65.00
Yellow 710x270x80 (generic from ebay) ~$40.00

Just wondered if you were happy with the strength of the eddy finn Hippie case and particularly the handle and latches.
I'm looking at getting a hard case for my soprano ohana with friction pegs and am wavering between this and a kinsman. They are both available for about £25 at the moment.
