Golf Club Hard-shell Case
After having owned two soft-shell cases in the past, I found out two things:
1. The zippers and seams simply can't hold up to the Airline Neanderthals and thier cousins in the TSA
2 - Some airlines (Southwest, for example) insist on making me sign a damage waiver if checking soft-shells

I use a "backpacker carry bag" so my clubs fit snugly within the confines of this case. I can get my sticks, accessories, shoes, rain gear, etc. into this unit and close it without having to have my kids stand on it to get it closed. It's compact, easy to roll around, and is *almost* indestructable.

I say *almost* because after one trip across the States, someone (baggage handlers or TSA?) had ripped off one of the handles. After getting it home and making a call to SKB, they told me the handles were under warranty and sent me a replacement set. two days later, and some effort with a screwdriver and small wrench (actually a green-repair tool ) I had the new handle on and was back at it! Great customer service from the manufacturer!

Fabulous for Fencing Gear Air Transport!
I purchased this case for my daughter's fencing gear as she was traveling on planes nationally and internationally this summer. I lined the remainder of the interior with similar foam to help pad her fencing gear - about another $10 in materials. It's maiden voyage in June was on Delta and was without a hitch - no extra baggage charge as it is a solid golf case (even if we don't use it as such. Fedexing it Greece caused a large frakus with customs as they do not allow "weapons" into the country, but suffice it to say everything showed up untouched and intact. A great case! We will recommend to all our fencing buddies!

Great case but requires a HUGE car trunk
I bought this case and loved it. I couldn't have been more pleased with its sturdiness, rolling ease, and quality of construction. My average sized stand bag fit nicely without much effort and there was room enough for shoes and other odd items inside.

HOWEVER, this case is so huge that it is nearly impossible to travel with if you rent a car. Don't be fooled by the length, sure you can fit a 49" driver in any trunk, but this case is 14" in diameter, so it is much larger than the length would lead you to believe. I recently flew to Las Vegas, and the only rental car with a big enough trunk was a Lincoln Continental (believe me I tried every trunk they had and this was the only one big enough). I usually rent an economy or full size car, so upgrading to a luxury car cost me a lot of extra money--I could have spent that money on a new driver! You can always try the back seat, but I needed it for people so that wasn't an option for me, though an economy or compact car will still be too small.

So, I have sold it and plan to buy a Club Glove Burst Proof travel bag which I have used before with good results. At least with a soft sided travel bag you can remove the clubs and fold up the bag to fit it all in any trunk or hatchback.

It's a great case, just be aware that it is not easy to travel with, you need a gigantic trunk.
