Yes, and that was the deciding factor. Spending that much for a uke, I didn't want to carry it around in a "bag." It's funny, but as expensive as that case was, the glued-on name plate fell off.
I know, I have a case for my Kanile'a from Kanile'a, it's a really nice sturdy case, but the handle is the weak point, it came apart. The location was also really awkward, it didn't balance very well. Kanile'a refunded me the cost and I took it to a luggage repair place and they relocated the handle and kind of fixed it, but it still comes apart.
