Apropos of nothing in particular, I own four ukuleles, all tenors, and each has its own hard case. Plus, I have an extra case I somehow wound up with. They range from fake leather over wood, to fiberglass, to carbon fiber; from reasonable to spendy, and what I find interesting are the latches, which run from okay to heavy-duty. Not surprisingly, the best case has the best latches, but the others vary in ruggedness, not necessarily related to cost.
Five cases: Two have three latches; two have five latches; one has four latches. (And my classical guitar case has six.)
Ko’olau; Oahu; Crossrock; Crossrock Chinese knock-off; Hoffee. And the guitar case is faux-alligator Cedar Creek.
Interesting. Makes me wonder as to the how-many-latches philosophy various companies have.
