The *REAL* Dimensions of this case, pictures & a thorough review (especially for people with AKG 240's)
I'll explain the 5 Star rating despite the fact that this case is not the size that it claims to be below, but first, the sizing.This case claims to be 8.3" x 7.6" x 4.3" and then, lower on the page, it claims to be 8.66" x 10.24" x 4.72". The brands website offers another completely different set of dimensions that are not correct either, so skip their site as well. I found all of this terribly confusing, but I ordered the case anyway because it does say that it fits my headphones. (See more on that below.) Once measured, I found it to be approximately (I say approximately because it gets wider a bit closer to the zipper, and it is slightly deeper in the middle of the case then it is around the edges,) 9.12" x 8" x 5.24". So, *that* is what you are dealing with.***I highly recommend looking up the specs of the headphones that you have or are planning on buying before purchasing this case.***So, now that that is out of the way, this is to all of you purchasing this for the AKG 240's This case does fit them, but it is a *very* snug fit. There will be a bit of either turning the headphones inward, {See Photos] or a bit of compressing of the overhead wire, causing the "L" and "R" circles on either side to barely squeeze in. The photos don't show the side angle, but the headphones fit fine as per depth goes. I use the first method of tucking one ear into the case and it does not harm the headphones in any way and the case shuts nicely. The uniform, "proper" fitting in of the headphones looks nice, but is *very* snug on the sides of the headphones, so much so that it seems as though they might scrape up the interior of the case just a bit.I cannot speak for the other styles of AKG's and how well they fit.As for the quality of the case, I found the zipper to be sturdy and does not seem like it will give out; the outer seems durable and has held up to a couple scrapes against sharp-ish objects in my bag and remains like new; the case itself is fairly difficult to bend in or crush (I have tried, with my headphones in it and without,) but it is *not* a hardshell case; the inner offers no real padding, just a thin liner with only the smallest amount of give, but is of a nice quality (if you can stomach Hunter Orange,) and seems durable, as does the small, well-made, mesh/solid sleeve/elastic strap cord-cozy that velcros onto the inside of the case; it is also very lightweight.Oh yeah, some people mention that the cases they buy have odd/putrid/nauseating odors to them. This case arrived smelling like a new car.All in all, I don't really think that this case is worth the price, but I still gave it 5 Stars due to the fact that it does protect my AKG 240's nicely (even if they are quite snug,) and seems as though it will be a case that will not shit-out on me anytime soon. Solid protection and quality workmanship gets it 5 Stars...even if they can't measure a case to save their life.@ Amazon - Maybe pester the company to get their sizes correct. If this case is off, others may be as well. Thanks.

Love it! Nicely made, convenient, hard shell case.
I just received it so I can't review longevity. However it's nicer than I expected. Fits AKG 240s just great. Nice hard shell should survive some abuse, other than something heavy crushing it or something sharp. The outside is covered in a charcoal cloth. The inside in a bright orange soft cloth. The zipper works well from either side. It has a carry handle.Inside that is a smaller orange pouch. It fits without getting in the way of the headphone storage. Quite handy. It has velcro on one side to keep it stuck tight to the case or you can totally remove it, it has a pocket across the top that will fit earphones or headphone cable, and has two separate pockets on the front for earphones or small device, and across that is elastic to store more smaller cables. There also was a separate small, soft, black leather-like pouch to store another cord or cable or small device. I'm not sure why that was there? I don't think I saw it in the ad.If you have the headphones that are listed or ones that are shaped the same size, they will conveniently fit, and you will be happy with this case... if you don't mind charcoal and orange.It looks like it will hold up a long time if you take reasonably good care of your belongings, which I do. For others who will be on the go and tossing it around more than I would, you'll have to review the sturdiness and longevity of that. Mine will be for home use, general storage, and occasional outings.

Works, but barely fits
I get that it’s supposed to be compact and fit the headphones nicely, but I find that they just barely fit inside. Of course their design makes it difficult to make a compact case, but I feel like just a little bit of extra width/length (depending on how you look at it) would have been helpful. minor nitpick, all things considered. Other than that it’s been great.

Longtime Durability + update
Update: this case has been through some very hard knocks! I had to add this: this afternoon I was playing my Fender J-bass guitar, as I moved to step over a box, cables & other flotsam and jetsam I accidentally released my hold on my bass and it landed squarely on the Geekria case! I gasped and immediately checked for my worse fear: damage to either. My guitar has seen A LOT worse but my headphones & Geekria case are usually set up on my gear shelf. No major dent, no cave in, just a very minor mark!You can buy a cheap, flimsy case and replace it in 3 months or invest in a durable, quality and use it for years.I've been using mine for 20+ months and it's as if I first received it.Protective construction, similar to fiber board, stronger than cardboard but I wouldn't stand on it.I use it to protect my AKG 240 MK II's -- *PERFECT* fit.The small pouch is a good idea, personally I don't use it much (other than store memory cards & the 1/4" plug) but it can take an extension cable or other sound room accessories.

Nice case but it the AKG K 240 headphones are ...
Nice case but it the AKG K 240 headphones are TOO BIG. Had to return this case. The seller advertises this case as fitting those headphones.

Great Case
This is a very nice, roomy case for my AKG K240 Headphones. The headphones fit perfectly with more than enough room for my extra cable but not too much room where the headphones move around. The little pouch is very nice as well. I am very happy that I got this case to protect my nice headphones!

Roomy & Sturdy
My case arrived before I expected it. The case is sturdy and the zipper is solid. Inside is a small mesh pouch that you can store your MP3 player in or an extra set of cables. The case is roomy in all three directions.
