I'd be certain these aren't the best. For someone that doesn't have a case or needs one. Looks like those Guardian cases. Link;

They don't look much different than the musicians friend cases and they are ok actually. If I was looking for an inexpensive case I'd look at these.

True. There are gig bags that cost this much. I've got an Eastman in a Terrapin case that doesn't look much different than these.

Looks like there are quite a few. A couple other vendors at EBay. Appears its the same case.

Those look like the the Saga Carrion C-3701 that were recently closed-out at $30. I've found the Saga case to be way too roomy for standard size A5 & F5 mandolins. The Musician's Gear cases are a much better fit.
If anyone buys one, please report back.
Thanks!
Here's my thread on the Carrion

Comparing the measurements, given for these in the description, with the measurements of both a Guardian and a Terrapin case I have, these do appear to be roomier. The reason if any, I might get one, would be I put tone guards and arm rests on all my mandolins. I like to keep those on the mandolin in the case. Need the extra room.

I also got the closeout case and it is definitely roomer for an A5, but it fits the old Gibson ovals quite nicely.

My response is in the thread about Saga cases. My old Gibson is the best fit, but the case is just a little too shallow. I didn’t want to put pressure on the bridge. I had to modify the accessory compartment by lowering it about 1/2” so the mandolins would fit inside the case. I didn’t expect much from $30.00 case and I got what I paid for in the deal.
Play em like you know em!

Arrived today. My son-in-law picked one up for me. It fits my F-style Northfield F5S fine with both the tone-guard and arm rest on the mandolin. Put the Eastman in the Terrapin case the Northfield was in. I'll just sell the Guardian that was too tight for either with the accessories attached. These look like the Kentucky cases, which I believe sold for about $90.00 before they discounted them.
