While this case is the right size for my needs and even has the extra compartments that I was looking for, it exudes such a strong, ghastly toxic chemical smell that it's difficult to focus on its good traits. Also, the color is a real disappointment as well. The Blue/Black model is not anywhere near the bright aqua shown in the picture. It's more like that color has been banged about in the back of a dirty pickup truck for a year or two and then dusted off. The color is even, but dirty looking. I have it sitting outside in the sun and wind right now, hoping those will clear that smell from it. The reason I am hoping still is because other than the smell and the color, the size is right and it looks and feels solid enough to be somewhat protective. However, if I can't clear out the smell, it's going back.Update: I left it out, opened, on my front porch for over a week. It was exposed to sun most of the day. It did not rain at all during the time this was outside, but it was blisteringly hot and very humid as well. We also had quite a bit of wind for a couple of those days. When I finally brought it back in, it had no more smell whatsoever, I am happy to report. However, the color remains stationary.... Which could be a good thing, if it were a good color. But it's not.
