Glarry makes decent cases at decent prices. If you are looking for protection for your guitar and don't take it out often, you should consider one of their cases. However, air travel, even train or bus, would be a bit iffy without further protection. Not sure I would do it with this case. I always put a belt around my guitar cases when I fly and leave the case unlocked. If airport security wants to look inside your case, they will... even if they have to break open the lock or more.

Glarry makes decent cases at decent prices. If you are looking for protection for your guitar and don't take it out often, you should consider one of their cases. However, air travel, even train or bus, would be a bit iffy without further protection. Not sure I would do it with this case. I always put a belt around my guitar cases when I fly and leave the case unlocked. If airport security wants to look inside your case, they will... even if they have to break open the lock or more. This method seems to satisfy their curiosity.
My main problem with Glary cases is in their measurements. The 'inside' measurements given for the particular case I purchased do not take into account the thick (3/4" to 1") padding. My own measurements showed they measure from 'wall to wall' of the interior, not from padding to padding. This can make for a very snug fit for some guitars, and a no fit for others. My Epiphone Les Paul Special Vintage Edition fit perfectly. Another Les Paul I built using an aftermarket body and neck was a VERY snug fit. A Gibson Les Paul will not. Then again, if you own a Gibson you are probably looking at more high-end cases.
In short, I'll keep the case. I have purchased others and the quality seems good, especially for the price, and they seem to hold up for my use. I would, however, like to see Glarry be more accurate with their measurements,
