It is amongst the most FAQ of FAQ's do take advantage of the abundant posts , thru a word search .
I see about 13 pages ..

I have never tried one so I cannot offer any advice. There have been many, many threads about them and most people seem to have favorable comments about them.
If you do a search spell guard without the "U" as that is how the product's name is spelled, tone-gard.
The website for them is at http://www.tone-gard.com/.

Here is a recent thread (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53342&highlight=Tone-Gard) about them. I love mine-- I think it made a very noticeable difference in sound. Plus, it helps to guard against buckle rash.

I use them on all my mandolins.

Do they get in the way and keep you from closing the case?....Willie

Some cases , but not all.. specifics ? maybe 1/4 x 2, of width 3/4 of depth..

I have been using a TraveLite case and I keep it on all the time and the case closes fine. I even have a armrest on top and it still closes fine.

[MikeEdgerton]

My mandolins with tonegards are in TKL and Calton cases and close fine.

So with a tone-gard a clip on tuner and pick holder and an armrest scratchplate and Weber Wood nymph....should look real pretty! ;)
