The outer layer is 1000 denier water resistant nylon. Most dirt will just wipe off with a damp cloth.

If you can supply a photo at some point, I would be interested.

Thanks for doing this. I’m glad this hole in the market has been filled again.

Mine is on the way! I snagged a "Stealth" model that sports black branding on the black case. I'm looking forward to it for hauling my new Arnold D-29 in my new Calton. I don't travel all that much, but maybe I'll start jogging around the block with it.

Beats having to haul it around in one hand...

Man, for a travelling musician this looks very interesting.

For local stuff I use a Godin Tric case. My two favorite things about it are light weight and straps. When you are trying to load in in one trip vs. two or more being able to put it on your back is so much more efficient.

For flying I would rather use my Hiscox case and gate check it, but the Hiscox has no straps. I'm definitely looking into this.

Mostly it seems to be a "thing" for the OCD "Higher End $$$ Guitar" owner folks, so they can stop worrying about putting a wear mark and/or damage of some type on their expensive Calton, Hoffee, Karura, Hiscox type case as it sits, with guitar inside, in their homes, thus giving them the heebie jeebies...AND/OR...diminishing the re-sale value of the case.

I know about the "OCD reason" from multiple friends and acquaintances who have or had them...all Colorado Case Cover owners...it REALLY WAS a thing for sure...and they told me this is why they bought and used them...as the guitar/case/case cover sat in their houses usually safely tucked away somewhere, under a bed, in a closet...

It seems like the backpack straps would appeal to more than just "a very few folks". I'm not a gigging pro by any means, but I like to play every day, so I take a guitar with me pretty much every time I fly anywhere. I'm not worried about protecting my Hiscox cases from dings, but these bags look great for lugging a guitar through an airport. I think I'll get one if I can confirm my cases will fit.

If they don't and you're still interested in backpack style carry see my prior post: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...9&postcount=17

Here are the two case covers I have, the first made by Colorado and the second by Hoffee.

The first case has nylon straps with cotton should pads. It's simple, works well, and is comfortable to carry.



The second cover has neoprene shoulder straps. It started with clips on the top of the shoulder straps, but I had to remove those. They were digging into my shoulders. The neoprene is stretchy and causes the guitar to bounce a lot when walking. Very uncomfortable.
