Default Which latch on your guitar case excites you the most?

I'm always partial to the latch that buckles at the back of the case, just that extra ounce of protection, how about you??? Which one is your favorite???

I couldn't stand any of the latches on my case until I switched them all for Waverly latches. That move saved me from having to sell the case because I just could not bond with it before that mod. I'm really excited right now because I put in a custom order for an all-braz, authentic case made with hide glue and nitro finish on the inside, underneath the lining. One it gets here, I'll hook up the Caserite for a week and then I'll A/B it with my other cases. I can't wait.

The latches on my Standard Martin cases excite me the most. I get so used to the 4 latches on my Gibsons and the 5 latches on my Geibs, I TOTALLY FREAK OUT on the Martin Jaws of Death cases, I think there's 6 of 'em,

Okay... NOW you guys are getting a little deep into the whole OCD thing...

Getting excited by the latches on a guitar case? Seriously?

... well, I guess the one that excites me is the LAST one before the case opens and I get to play!

As ridiculous as this question is, the most outlandish part is this very same question was already asked 2 months ago.

I fear AGF might have jumped the shark.

My custom Tonerite latch made partly of Bluechip materials is quite exciting.

When my guitar isn't being Tonerited on the stand it's in it's case being Tonerited by the latch.

Meanwhile I'm in in my vibrating bed or right here on the forum chilling/listening to music through my PrimeVibe transducers safe in the knowledge that everything is constantly improving.

I don't know which are my favorite. But the ironic thing is I can't stand those rounded, plastic latches! Weird.....
