Gonna sound cheesy but I don’t like rubber. I like the naked feeling
I receive more feedback. Or I believe so.

This exact case I've owned since I had Whitten make mine custom new.
There's not a better instrument/humidor/case ever made that this one.
He learned from the woodwind instrument case makers first, how to make a case that helped wood.
He got it right.
I even talked to his son about 4 yrs ago, to redo my zipper, he said he makes em now not to last forever. ))
I'd highly recommend buying this case, even tho no second pocket.
Only thing you'll ever need to do to this case is, replace the zipper when needed, and put lexol on the outside/now.
