Gator GK-88-SLIM Semi-Rigid Keyboard Case

I bought this for use with a Roland Fantom 08. To say the fit is snug would be an understatement. The length is JUST sufficient, but that's probably good because there is no sliding back and forth. If all 88-key keyboards are the same length, then it's a great design. If your keyboard is a half inch longer, you may have trouble cramming it in. On the other hand, if yours is a few inches shorter (no mod wheels), you may need to cram in a towel or extra piece of foam to eat up the extra space.The straps are just ok. They hold snugly, but I wish the placement was adjustable. One side goes over a bunch of knobs, which worries me a little bit. I'd prefer to move it to the side a few inches where there aren't any controls.The zippers -- only time will tell. They feel a bit cheap. Fortunately I only gig once or twice a month, so it should last a while. I'd be more concerned if I was moving this several times a week. For now (after 3 uses) it's holding steady.

Yes, I bought 2 of these!?! Bear with me:I'm a part-time amateur keyboard player. I gig about 6-8 times a year. I first bought this case in 2016 because I wanted a lighter weight case than the SKB molded (35 lbs) that I had been using to transport my 50 lb. Roland stage piano.After less than a year, one of the zippers failed at one end. The case was still serviceable, so I continued to use it until about a month ago, when the other zipper failed and I had to pop it open. I used the SKB case for my next gig, but it's just too heavy for me (I'm retired now, and my back hurts every time I have to transport my gear). I'm playing out more often, and I need a lighter case; I can't find anyone who can repair the zipper for a reasonable price, and the cost to ship it anywhere for repair is more than half the cost of a brand new one, so I just bought another one.Unfortunately, the price has almost doubled ($200 in 2016, $380 in 2022). I'm just crossing my fingers that the new one will last at least another 4 years (I bought an extended warranty for it, something I almost never do). If it saves me from back injury, then I guess it will be worth it.

Bought for my Nord Stage 2. I can fit the tri-pedal unit in the external pouch. Cables get stuck in the pouch and/or with the keyboard.Pros:- Sturdy. The bottom and sides are plastic for support. This thing is built to last.- Has good wheels. I've taken this case over smooth and rough terrain and I have no worries about damaging them or the keyboard inside.- Lots of pockets, including many sealed with zippers and Velcro.- Heavily padded interior with a simple but effective strapping systemCons:- The top is NOT rigid, so don't expect to be stacking a whole bunch of stuff on top of it. It also makes things awkward when you've got a lot of stuff in the pouch while you're trying to open/close the case.- Not enough handles on the outside! Anything beyond wheeling it around becomes a 2-man job or a very awkward 1-man job. Just having a handle on both sides of the case would have been magnificent. This is a real downer for me since I'm usually hauling my stuff solo.- Could have benefited from arm strap(s). This thing gets really freaking heavy when fully loaded and an arm strap could have really helped.- Top handle doesn't extend far enough. You end up holding the case away from you a bit while wheeling because the top of the case hits your legs/waist while you're walking around. Better than having no wheels for sure, but those long treks get uncomfortable holding it with your arm at a 35-degree angle.Overall, it's a good case despite the number of cons as it delivers on the most important requirements. Would buy again if I couldn't find something with more handles.

I bought this case for my 52.5-inch long Yamaha P255 keyboard. It fits this case perfectly with just a tad over 1 inch to spare. (they put in an extra piece of foam padding that I use at the end of the keyboard to make it fit snug in the case) I should mention that I do not use the case often, but when I need it, I need it.The case is quite nice. It stands on it's end when not in use. The bottom and sides are rigid but the top is soft-shelled. The two retaining straps stay out of the way while you put the keyboard into the case, and then latch down with good velcro closings on the retaining straps, which have nice soft padding on the side that faces the keyboard. The zipper is a tad cranky going around the corners but is a good heavy-duty zipper. The end handle works well for me. I wish it had another handle or strap on or near the bottom end, it would be nice to have when loading it into a vehicle.The exterior pocket on the case will hold my power supply and sustain pedal, however my Yamaha's acrylic music stand is too long to fit in pocket. When loaded, this case plus my Yamaha is definitely heavy, so the wheels are very important to me, and they do roll well.All in all, the case is working well and the price was reasonable.The exterior of the case is about 60 inches long and you should not expect this case to fit in a standard car unless you have a really huge trunk or your back seats fold down.

Well constructed and very sturdy, this case is much stronger than my previous case (which is actually a bag ; Stagg K18-138 Keyboard Bag)It came in excellent condition. It is very roomy inside and can easily hold a Yamaha P115 keyboard with room to spare (This was one of my main worries before buying the case). The straps are a nice touch which secures the keyboard in place and there’s room at the front of the bag to store sustain pedals and plugs etc.The wheels are a godsend and makes travelling so much more easier.The case itself is not that heavy, but including the keyboard it can be a little heavy, (but it’s nothing compared to what it was like carrying my previous keyboard bag with the Yamaha keyboard over my shoulders, that’s a real killer!)The only real downside of this case is that the handle provided to drag the keyboard along is quite flimsy, so time will tell if it will be able to hold up it’s qualityOther than that, it’s a great case! If your a keyboard player who goes to gigs often, do yourself a favour and please buy a keyboard case (not a bag) with wheels! You will do your back and your shoulders a massive favour and MUCH better protection for your keyboard!

This case is in fact NOT lightweight despite the claim. I find it heavier than the original Korg bag but probably more robust.

I've only just unpacked this but initial impressions are that it is very well designed and made. Size is absolutely perfect for my Casio Privia PX-360M and will protect it both in transit and whle standing idle in my home. It is a little on the heavy side but then it wouldn't do the job if it was as light and flimsy as many I've seen.

This case perfectly protected my Yamaha CP50 for a small recital I had use it for. Like the other Gator case I've used for my Korg TR it comes with adjustable padding and a snug fit. The wheels are very welcome. Please do bear in mind that the case it self amplifies the weight of the keyboard making maneuvering it around stairs and narrow passages slightly difficult. If you do not go to gym consider this a holiday for your roadies probably do go.

This is a good case! Perhaps a little too big for my Roland FP-50 but that does mean that you can also fit in the Roland KS-18Z stand (if you put in some extra padding). I can get almost all keyboard accessories and books that I have in the case besides my Nordell keyboard stool. Like some reviewers have stated, the case was delivered in ripped up packaging, but this isn't an issue honestly. The material looks and feels professional/sturdy and the handle doesn't feel flimsy at all. It stands up on it's own but I'd reccomend propping it up against a wall or something. Overall I am very happy with this purchase as it means I can finally take my keyboard to bars/restaurants/hotels.One more thing!! It fits in my car as well and my car is not very big. Ford fiesta!Happy shopping fellow customer :)
