I had been using a Travelite for my F model for a few years but was always dissatisfied with lack of storage space. It seems my wife heard me complain one time too many, and surprised me with a TKL Zero Gravity case at Merlefest last spring. The Zero Gravity cases have a nice outside pocket, but flop over when the mandolin is taken out. This week I backed the screws out that hold the lining on the bottom front of case, got the jar my spare change goes in, and dropped pennies in till the case no longer flopped over. There is probably an extra pound or so of weight, but the case is so light that it is fine by me. Grrr--how hard would it be for TKL to add enough weight to keep the case stable when open?
