Okay, so it's not a uke but it is a great uke CASE! I've had it a short while and figured I'd show it off for fellow strummers who've never seen one up close. This is the Ameritage AME-102 Gold Case for tenor ukes. Pretty much their top of the line series and it includes a hygrometer, humidification and dehumidification accessories. Let me start out by saying I think you could drive a tank over this case and your uke would come out on top! But all that protection comes at a cost and in this "case" (pun intended), it's the weight. It easily weighs what 2 other wood hardshell cases would weigh! But when you're "baby" is packed in the back with all the luggage around it, you won't worry a bit. And I think when it's crazy dry out or crazy humid, you can prepare for it by using 1 of the two systems that comes with it. Note the 4 screened "ports", 2 facing up from the storage compartment and 2 facing the body. Nothing will be falling around the case with your uke. My purpose for this case is to use it when traveling with a uke. In most cases it's "protection overkill" but with a really nice uke, now I don't have to take the chance. Of course at the list price of $1061, I would have gone forever without owning one. But when the 75% off deal came up I took the plunge. Cary still has 3 left from the original 10 I believe. Oh and the uke that's in it right now is my (probably one of a kind) Mele carved round back beauty. It always rolled around in normal tenor cases but it's nice and secure in this one.
