VOTE the Best Guitar Case...?

Question

I've narrowed my selection down to a few cases. I'm trying to find something that won't cost a lot but is good enough quality that it can protect my guitar when I fly internationally.

I'm a beginner guitarist, so I don't know what qualities to look for in a case. Suggestions:

Answer 1

The second guitar case is very sturdy and much lighter. it adds the protectiveness of a hardshell but doesn't have the weight.

Much easier to carry for a lady and they offer more protection especially in the winter.

The problem with the thermoplastic case is that the lugs tend to break. I bought one for my Jackson but broke 2 lugs already .
