Default Dreadnought Case

Looking for a Nice (and reasonably priced) Dreadnought case for a Martin D-28. Quality is more important than name.

Thanks,
Sam

Just checked my case inventory, and found a real nice, brand new archtop 6-latch dred case with no name. Thought that this might be one I could sell you. But then i checked the QR code and found out it is a Silver Creek Vintage case, that you can buy new for $129.99 at Sweetwater (before 15% discount, if eligible) and get free shipping I believe. Certainly not worth my selling to you with shipping costs etc, when you can get one new. And by the way--I see very little difference between this case and the Martin 545 Geib-style, other than it being a couple pounds lighter, I think.

**EDIT** The 15% discount I saw is at Woodwind and Brasswind Instruments (WWBW.com)--not Sweetwater.

Hi Sam,
I have a Martin hard shell case that came standard with my D-18. It’s close to brand new condition. I put that case away in storage and have been using a different case for my D-18. Price is $150 Net to me. I’m in Southern California. If you happen to be close, we can avoid shipping costs. Which can be very significant because of the size of these cases.
Don

I've used those Silver Creek cases and they're good for the money but I really notice the difference in the latch quality between it and a Geib style case.
