Does this case give good protection for the instrument? My 6th grader will be traveling back and forth to school, and she's not the most careful.

My case doesn't go very far but the molded inside fits very snug. I've had my trumpet since the early '60's without incident and and this case seems better fitted. The backpack straps should help a lot.

Yes. I bought it for my 7th grader and he hasn't had any issues. He also likes that he can carry this case like a back pack.

The case was purchased for a 7th grader and he has had excellent luck with it. No problems with protecting the instrument.

I bought this for my 6th grader. It had worked great for him. He rides the bus to and from school. It has held up well.

This case has plenty of protection. There are more sturdy cases out there, but the backpackability is pretty cool. My Seventh Grade son prefers it over the case that came with the horn.

I use it for my Fender Strats or my Ibanez RG when it's inconvenient to tort a bulky hard shell case to a jam session. Don't own any Schecters though. I can say that it is a top quality case that provides more protection than a regular gig bag.

Yes, I am a student as well and I use it in my backpack all the time. It protects the headphones well. It's about the same hardness as the original beats case.

My daughter has a 3/4 Martin and it works great for her. This is a great case if you need to protect the guitar.

I have two different skb cases. One with & 1 without lock. The one with lock appears to be & if I recall the one guaranteed to be able to go in cargo. I've never the opportunity to travel with this case, but I think it's sturdy enough to handle it. The big concern are the cargo inspectors who may open your case & handle your guitar. Do you allow strangers who do not appreciate your guitar to handle it. The case is fine, it will handle it. You might be better off paying ups the $25 cargo to ship it. Check it out.

Yes, a little pressure will be fine because you want the guitar to stay tight in the case. A loose fit will allow the guitar to move around too much.

I am not sure about flying but it worked great for the band trip which was on buses. Lots of High School Students. I do know that the case was under the bus with the rest of the instruments. He also loved using it to transport the horn back and forth to school and concerts.

I'm pretty sure it's too big for a classical guitar. I can check tonight, but it's the right size for a Dreadnought body. BTW, I haven't been overwhelmed with the case holding up; it had a hinge problem early on, when it was on the floor in a club and got kicked. I managed to fix that. The nylon seems to show more wear than I would expect, and I only take it out once or twice a week. I like it, but a hard case would hold up better. (This case replaced my case from 1968 :))

On mine, everything is solidly built, tightly attached. I can tell you, though, that this case is VERY heavy (at least to me). If you put a LP-type guitar in it, you'll want to minimize how much you actually have to carry it around.

Yes this is a good protective case for a child to drop. The corners are well protected. But if the child is like most :) Might like to throw things in the toilet I would recommend a Lifeproof case. But if that is not a concern this is a great case and for sure protect from medium damage!

I bought a case for mine and take it everywhere. It's great for rehearsals. Very light weight.

I would not trust my guitar to this case if I had to check it, there is virtually no padding or structure. If you can take it with you into the airplane, then it's fine.

Yes, it is a very nice case. Ours was a green velvet inside and hard case covered with canvas like cloth covering, back pack straps and a zipper pocket large enough for sheet music.

It will protect the finish from light bumps and scuffs, but will not protect the guitar structure from falls or from things (such as luggage) being set on top of it, or hard objects ramming it. OK for carrying it to lessons or gigs in a car, or on a bus or subway it you hold on to it.

The body of the case is pretty dense and not very flexible, so I think this would not be a bad choice for transporting a guitar while riding a bike. The greatest challenge I foresee is that the bottom of the case may extend beyond the seat of your bike, so you may have to ride hunched over to keep the guitar off of your rear wheel.

Absolutely! My 8yr old just dropped this out of a moving vehicle yesterday, the case protected my ipod perfectly. I figure if the ipod wasn't damaged after being dropped out of a moving vehicle while in this case than NOTHING can hurt it...lol! I absolutely LOVE this case! I just wish it had easy access to the charger port like it does for headphones. But I can garentee you will love it!!! I do :)

Yes, this is the next-best thing to those bulky professional road cases used by touring musicians. I've accidentally backed a vehicle over a case like this, with no damage to the guitar inside (though I wouldn't recommend testing that out on purpose).
