I bought one of these cases at the sale price (thanks for the tip!). It's nice and sturdy, but quite heavy and not as versatile as just carrying the eDGe in an over-the-shoulder bag. It's good if you're not concerned about weight and only need your eDGe + accessories with you. For me that's rarely the case.

The weight of the case is due to the solid outer casing and a solid middle flap, which I understand doubles as a laptop mousepad, but I haven't found it useful for the eDGe. Also, while the Grid-it system is pretty nifty, it takes a lot more time to stick items under the rubber bands than just to drop them into a laptop bag side pocket, the way I normally would.

All that said, I'm using the case to see if maybe it will grow on me, but I can't see myself using it for significant trips, etc.
