these are the best 1x2 i have seen since fellini,they are folded skins at the top and bottom(Not plastic caps) they have great suction when openning!and the skins are thick,Iam very pleased with our transaction! I sent the money and cases arrived next day , and quality was far beyond expectation. 3 of us compared all my cases in stock (thomas-ann gore-fellini-its george-mcdermott supermac-and a aluminum palmer) they all had similaritys,we looked at latches/construction/ linning/ seal/and craftsmanship. and these are the best made today,and the closest to felini!! we chose the cases that we did only because that is what we had .and they all were great cases !!just info!!
