    It doesn't look like it's still available. It must have been replaced with this one.

    That is if it really is a Saga Superior Deluxe Mandolin Case.

    I don’t believe the case I displayed is the Saga case. This pic is from a discussion about the Saga case and someone posted this pic, but I can’t figure out what it is.

    It's Shuster case. Older version that was used by most Czech builders (that's Lebeda mandolin in the picture)
    I've got one just like that, the shell is surprisingly strong (I could stand on it) but it lacks on the padding a bit. Certainly strongest ABS shell case on the market.

    Here is their webpage (still using old pictures and only in Czech language)
    http://shuster.cz/sortiment/nggaller...r-na-mandolinu

    The new version can be bought from Prucha (notice the improved interior, three latches and thick handle):

    It's the same as the Streichholz-schachtel "matchbox" case, made by Shuster cases for the store.

    Hi Gary - If you were thinking of buying one,then from experience,'' Streichholz-schachtel '' are unreachable by e-mail - i tried to contact them many times without success. If you could get some sort of direct contact to Shuster,then maybe that would be your best bet. Other than that,Pruscha is possibly the only & maybe best alternative.

    These new cases from Northfield are due out shortly,

    If you really want to reach the maker directly I can help with translation (I'm not sure about their english communication skills these days)... One of my friends called him and he can customize the padding if you supply measurements.
