I searched, but started another anyway...
I'm looking into a nice hard-shell case. My requirements- it takes a beating, but protects the uke. I live in earthquake country, so I mean take a big beating. It has an accessory compartment big enough for a standard tuner (like a Snark). It would be nice if it also could hold a pack of strings without them touching the uke.
I'm looking at Ameritage. I keep hearing "they are heavy," but I can't find a weight spec. Does anyone know the weight of the Silver or Gold series? Is the main difference between Silver and Gold the humidification system?
Kamoa fiberglass seems to be popular, too. What other cases should I consider? I would be protecting relatively high-end ukes, so while price is always a consideration, I'm not going to get the shakes if the case costs as much as an import uke. Finally, I'm looking for 3-4 of these bad boys, so if I would be better off with a custom order, let me know. They don't need to be stackable, but that might be nice.
Maybe I should hit the marketplace with a WTB? Thoughts?
