This soft case is the big brother of the Boss CB EG01, and is really well designed. It has all the right elements in terms of protection, comfort, convenience and practicality. The padding is firm and thick. The balance is great. The overall weight is excellent. The straps and handles are comfortable. There is padding between the instrument and the outer pocket, so your guitar doesn't damage your laptop and vice versa.
What's more? Your Telecaster or Strat will fit snugly without too much extra room around. As an internationally active musician of many decades, I have come to the conclusion that it is not good for a soft case to have too much wiggle room inside it. It's always better to have a good fit combined with good padding. A loose fit allows for your instrument to move around, which actually makes it easier to damage it in the course of daily usage and movements and typical traveling activities. And, it wears down the case faster.
I would go as far as to say that this case can give the M*** brand cases which cost 3 to 6 times as much, a good run for their money.
The only drawback is that the top pocket is quite tight. You won't be able to put much in there. Anything with thickness such as a small tuner or micro pedal will not get in.
Some missing details I would ask for:
1) an extra piece of hard foam to be provided. I always place a 4 cm thick piece of foam on the inside bottom, which I let my guitar's strap holder punch a hole into. This provides an all-important buffer at the bottom of the instrument.
2) waterproof shell material, so I don't have to keep spraying the case every few weeks/months
3) large rubber padding on the outside at the bottom, like the M*** brand soft cases have.
