Default there are arched top cases and archtop cases - different!

Be advised - cases designed for flat-tops are not an ideal match for archtops.

Many good cases for dreads etc are described as archtopped. This means that the lid of the case is arched to give more protection for the top.

It doesn't mean that they are designed for archtop guitars with the high floating bridge and steeper neck angle than flat-tops.

Although I was not entirely happy with the guitar shipment from them, the Archtop.com website says they can supply cases for archtops.
