Well, yesterday the top clasp broke with the rotating part popping out of the assembly and now I have an Instroke Premier 3x7 case that does not stay shut. I might try ordering their diamond clasp repair kit (hopefully it is better than the cheaper clasp used on the Premier cases). I am not sure If I want to pay shipping (I bet it will be $35 just in round trip shipping costs) plus $25 to replace the latch or if I should try a higher quality case in their line. If I go with the Cowboy vinyl case, does it come with the better diamond top latch?
Has anyone heard any updates with what is going on with Instroke, their obvious lower quality trend and the overall availability of their cases? I really like their case design and butt / shaft layout for a 3x7 case but if I am going to continue to have quality issues with them I'll probably have to move to anther brand...
