Hard cases are good for exactly what there made for, locking em up and putting them on a plane so all your stuff gets there in one piece.

Trust me on this one if your not flying to a gig, a soft case is the way to go. Nothing sucks more than carting a hard case in and out of clubs all night. Not to mention most soft cases have tons of little pockets to store your headphones and whatever else your going to carry around with you.

Originally posted by DJTJ I ordered a hard case from www.htfr.com the other day. £50 UK, I'll tell you if it's any good once it's been delivered!

Well, it's been delivered, and I have to say it's pretty good. Very sturdy, I can't see it breaking any time soon. The lid is detachable, so you can get it out of the way when you are pulling records out at a gig, and the lockable butterfly catch seems pretty solid. At £50 (about $75 US) I reckon it's a bargain!

As far as home storage goes, nothing beats a good ole milk crate. They are free, as long as you know where to steal 'em, and hold a bunch of vinyl.

But if you are taking a few records on the road then i would do nothing less then buy a good hard case. The odyssey krom cases sure are purdy, but expensive. There are a bunch of other companies around that make cases for a whole lot less, that are just as effective as odyssey's.

hey DJTJ,
about www.htfr.com, do you know if it can ship products to Israel? it looks like a cool site......

They do ship to Israel, in fact anywhere in the world, pretty much. Shipping will be mighty expensive on a record box though... pretty heavy, UPS delivery from UK to Israel.

hmmm......... actually, I want to buy the Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones.....
how much is 123 pounds in US $?????

and another thing.... do you have any other good and reliable internet stores for DJ equipment (who can ship to Israel....)????
