The case is beautiful, made of very good materials and offers very good protection for the instrument. Unfortunately, the glue started to loosen in a few places after a couple of months, which should not happen with cases in this price range. The only reason I didn't send the case back is because I need it and I can't wait several weeks for a new one to arrive. I have quite a few famous brand guitars at home with original cases (many between 20 and 35 years old!) and there have been no similar problems anywhere, not even years later... Too bad, Epiphone!
