Re: [APML] Accessory cases

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

These cases work very well.  I have three of them that I had custom foamed.
The weak point with them is the handle.  On one of these cases, the plastic
holding the handle to the case broke...after three years...not bad for $19.
They're no Pelican or Zero Halliburton but for the price you can't go wrong.
