Product Review (submitted on December 29, 2012):

I have three of these cases, one for a Baritone that doesn't get much play, and the others for my main ukes, a concert and a tenor. While they offer good protection and lightweight at a great price, I don't think they hold up well in the long term.
One case is from 2006, and has been heavily used for about 2 years. The seams around the bottom are separating, and the velcro strap inside is falling apart. While a traditional case showing signs of wear might take on a cool patina, exposed styrofoam is not too sexy.
The other is slightly older, and hasn't seen as much use, but the fabric is ill fitting, as if the foam has contracted, and it too looks a little dumpy.
The newer baritone case is fine, for now.
All three have served me well and work fine, but at least two will need replacing soon.
They are also quite a bit bulkier than traditional cases, and if both zippers are not fully unzipped each time the uke comes out, the zippers will fail.
