Almost bullet proof!
I always take a long time before writing reviews because I want to "abuse" my products befor write anything.
This is THE real deal! If you want to protect you gear the only better thing you could do is put kevlar around it!
I bought this case together with my HD500 in 2010 and I ve been using it for gigs at least twice a week. It has falled from a 2m stage, traveled a lot on airplane (no as hand luggage), have been exposed to moist, used as a bench... it has not been shot yet, but I am pretty sure it would survive!
My HD500 was heavily used before being replaced for my HD500X and they were inside this case when all of the incidents happened. They are still fully functional!
PROS: it protects your gear in the best way you could expect! the foam inside is very good and the way it is mounted prevents any damage.
CONS: it is quite heavy!

Superb Case!
Very pleased with this case indeed! Quality solid build and the Pod fits to perfection! Room at the back to store power supply and cables. Some other reviewers have complained about a strong smell in the interior, on opening the case I noticed a slight smell of obvious glue which then quickly dispersed.. nothing to complain of here! I love the Phenol brown finish... It adds a rich character and I definitely prefer It to plain old Black! Excellent service once again from Thomann... The best Music store/Online Music store experience without a doubt! Thank you.

This home for your POD HD!
So, it is a heavy solid box, convenient for transportation, well protected from all sides of the corners, which protects my POD for the past one year.
What I liked: free snap locks, cover easily finds its place in the grooves and tight. Inside a special porous material at the closing keeps POD, so it does not hang out during transport. Recess for the power supply. I'm in the closed position with the POD placed two guitar cables.
Several times I POD instead transported in a carrying case pedal. To this I added additional partitions of hard foam, so they did not hang out during transport. I fit 5 standard pedals and power supply. During the concert, partitions, of course, I cleaned.

Want a case that will protect your gear through anything? Get this. I've used a lot of cases to protect anything from pedals to amps, and usually buy Thon. SKB's and others are good too, they are a good bit lighter than the Thon, but nowhere near as solidly built. If I have a criticism, it would be the weight, but it's built like a tank. Hinges and hardware are very good, top lifts off cleanly, good padding and great protection. It's handled by everyone from roadies to family, and looks like it'll survive a nuclear holocaust. I don't have to worry about the contents with this case.

It does what its supposed to do!
This case is very sturdy, well made, quite heavy with the Pod HD500 inside it, but you'd expect that.
I've dropped it a couple of times now, hit the floor with a large BANG! But my pod and the case came out unscaved!
Essential piece of equipment when you buy such expensive gear like hd500's and such.

Solid and Sturdy
Does what is says on the tin! It's solid and sturdy and has stopped my pedal from getting scratched to bits. The only thing I would say is that it would be nice if they somehow got a little bit extra space in at the back so you could leave your canon cable plugged in!

Fantastic case.
I may have only owned this case for about a week but I can safely say it's excellent for the following reasons:
1. It's solid and feels like it could take a beating.
2. The removable lid is incredibly useful.
3. The space behind the POD is also incredibly useful (I believe some people would call this a 'dog box').
4. 2 and 3 means less time setting up and more time annoying band mates by trying to find that 'perfect POD tone'.
4. It's a glorified dust cover!
5. Brown has more character than black or steel.
You could get a bag for your POD and be happy or you could spend a little more and get this. And like me, you can be too excited about a case.

Never been this happy for a wooden box before!
What is there to say? It fits perfect and protects my Pod500 exactly the way it should.
It feels strong and is nicely done inside.
It gives me enough space to put my pod and G30 wireless system along with my cables, not so much more than that. But I don't need anymore than that, it is perfect. :)

Thomann Case for HD500X
Great fit for the HD500X. It is well protected from knocks and scrapes which surely you want after spending the money on your HD500X? There is also room for leads and the adapter which keeps everything together. Once your HD500X is inside, just take the lid off, connect up and it is ready to play whilst remaining in the bottom part of the case. I recommend this for those who want their equipment to be protected when moving from gig to gig. Very solid construction and worth every penny!!
