I have a Scott Leather case. After my name on the top and a velcro holder inside, plus tax it is closer to $400. Does it do a better job than a $59 us luggage case? No. Do you look like mr. mainline cool pilot guy. Maybe. If I had to have a nice leather one, I think I would get the coyote works one with the aluminum skid plates on the bottom. The scott leather co offers 'wear leathers' on the bottom. I wish I would have got those, cuz my case is only 2 years old and the corners are worn through. I never drag it, and have always been really careful with it. I now have duct tape on the corners to keep it together. If I would have got the coyote works one with skid plates, I think it would last forever. I think another great option for $200 is the luggage works flight case:
