Yes, if you prefer a normal hardcase you should probably get something
like a Pelican case (or clones). The MD/Mono tabletop bag is more for
carrying yur unit on the subway to the gig, a normal bag that's
specially adapted in size and pockets to the unit and peripherals.

Many people use it also for other purposes like bringing around their
laptop and some magazines. We wouldn't recommend people to check it in
for a long-haul flight (that's what hard cases are for).

As for the price, this one is hand-sewn in Sweden, and the asking
price (that include shipping) actually have almost no margin. This
might be one of the few clothing that does not come straight from
China or Bangladesh. :)

We did it mainly to provide a special style of causal carrying bag
with nice design, getting away from the normal 12" record bag form
factor. There is alot of work to administer the production so it
probably won't be available forever.

With the right expectations you should be happy with it!

Worth to note is that we changed the design from the customers of the
first batch, increasing the insulation around making it a bit more
protective and sturdy now.
