Great case, now even better since being upgraded.
Before if there was perhaps one weakness in the design of this case it was that the back straps could only be secured by velcro when not in use, which is far from ideal when using public transport or moving through a crowd. But now there has been the new addition of a large, zipped pocket on the back of the case so that the straps can simply and quickly be neatly tucked away - perfect.
Other than that, this case remains about as securely and ideally close fitting for a Telecaster than any other I've tried.
All in all an intelligently thought out and well manufactured guitar case at a price which makes me consider it a bargain.

Protec Contego soft case
I found this soft case heavier than I thought, not exactly light weight as advertised. I was surprised because it is thinner than the SKB Uni soft case (therefore more suitable to aircraft cabin). Contrary to the SKB, the Protec will not fall when laid on the ground on it side, provided the guitar is in. The build and materials are for sure high quality and will last. The pockets could hold a lot of stuff e.g. pedals, cables and even a laptop, but this would make the bag too heavy and difficult to handle. Protection to the guitar is good, and my Tele fits in nicely. There is a neck strap (not clearly visible in the pictures). The shoulder straps are backpack like and comfortable, but not detachable, that is a minus in my opinion, as they could get tangled during transport. There is a plastic ring to hang the case e.g. to a coat rack.

I LOVE it
Best guitar case/gigbag I have ever had. It is comfy, sturdy, with a lot of extra pockets for your cables, pedals, picks, tools etc...
Highly recommended for all strat-shaped guitar users.

Good protection, good value, heavy.
Serious case/bag, no bad habits, except for the fact that the back straps are always exposed, as they have no compartment of their own. Protection is good and there are lots of compartments to carry extra stuff. Sometimes I get bored of all the velcro you have to untangle to get to your guitar: velcro holds the handles together, velcro is over the zipper, velcro is over your guitar's neck. But you can cut off what you don't need.. Bag is a little heavy. Bike ride test: good.

really solid
solid case that i have used for over a year now. zip is failing at the bottom but was to be expected. used on a few flights as well and was very sturdy. sturdier than a gig bag and more convenient than a case

I have been using it every day for over a year
I have hauled this thing around with me all day, 5 days a week for the last year or so.
It fits my Charvel Guthrie Govan guitar, a laptop, the charger and maybe a book.
It’s been my school bag, essentially, which is great because I can take everything I need in one package
The other reviews say this is heavy, please do not ignore that. It’s like hauling an extra guitar or two in your case. I am 182cm tall, weigh 95kgs and lift regularly. This is a good solution for me but I really don’t recommend it for children or the elderly etc.
Still, having all of my stuff in one case is awesome and this thing is bloody indestructible

Great stuff
Feels solid
material is tough
nice big pockets
quality zips.
The only slight negative is that the velco that holds the two carry handles together is fraying slightly

Protec Contego Elec. Guitar Case BK
This case is of good quality, however it is quite heavy for the price, and the zips can sometimes get a bit jammed, but it offers considerable protection for your guitar considering it's not a full hard case. There is also plenty of storage space.
