Road Cases USA makes very poor cases. Unfinished metal work, rivets jabbed in like nails and not spread, splintered wood. Most of the rivets weren't even long enough for the wood, let alone the aluminum valances. There is a reason they are so cheaply priced.
The company seems to have several different names, as well. Roadie Products Inc, Hybrid Cases, New York Case Company, Island Cases, and probably others I haven't discovered yet. They seem to just change their name and website every few years. I found out all of this too late, as there are complaints for the various other company aliases. The company is out of Holbrook, NY, so if you see a case company from there, it's them.
The Chinese make better cases than these.
I should add, their customer service is wholly unprofessional, and attempts to deny all wrong doing. I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back. I also filed a complaint with the BBB. These people are horrible.
The bad customer service was actually from the owner of the company himself. He lacked even a common sense knowledge of manufacturing, and simply freaked out in his emails, ranting on and on about how perfect they were, and how I should just use the case as-is.
I did finally get my money back, thanks to the paypal claim, but I still had to pay the return shipping.
