I got a really nice one from Irvin Karan. He sells them from his facebook or slidebone.com . It’s pretty much a copy of the marcus bonna case, but like half the price and he says they’re made in the USA. Going on 3 months with mine and no issues. Fits really nicely in (even small plane) overhead bins too.

Only problem with Irv is his unreliable delivery. If he has it in stock, you get great service -- but he never tells you whether it's in stock or not. If he has to order it, watch out!! So if you want to roll the dice, go ahead and order from Irv. You may get it promptly, but you may have to threaten a lawsuit if he takes 6 months or more to get it to you.

Thanks for the reminder Bruce! I forgot to mention that. Mine DID take almost exactly 5 months to get to me. Was it worth saving ≈$200-300 vs. buying a MB in stock somewhere? Your call :good:

I also got one from Irvin Karan that I like. I believe that if you act fast enough you should be fine because as of a week or two ago he had some screw bell cases on hand, but he may be sold out by now. If he is since he is dealing with overseas manufacturers for them it might take a minute to arrive. Mine took about a month or two to arrive.

It’s so new I’m not sure if anyone has gotten their hands on one yet, but I have one of their regular trombone cases and love it. I’ve had it for almost 5 years now and it’s been absolutely great.

Good to hear. I'm trying to see if they can arrange shipping to Vietnam direct from their factory in Spain. Price is about the same as MB. I'll let you guys know if it turns out!
