Has anyone seen the Access stage 5 cases in person? Are they on par with TKL or Cedar Creek? TIA...

Perhaps we can make a group purchase at wholesale prices.
I'm ready to purchase when available.
Thanks, Walter

Prices are comparable to TKL wholesale pricing but minimums are lots of four cases. I have seen pics of them on thier website but as we all know pictures are not as good as seeing the real thing. I was just hoping someone was fortunate enough to see them in person before I pull the trigger. Availability is limited to two models: Dreds and Classicals (which will fit OMs and OOOs).

Tim,
I'm pretty sure Robbie O'Brien saw them at the NAMM show a few weeks ago, but he is just getting back from vacation. I'll ask him to post his impressions when he gets time.

I just got 4 dreads in the mail this morning. Nice looking and good fitting cases. 5 latches, good fit and finish on the construction. Be happy to answer any questions.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the update. Did you get a wholesale price?

Gary:
Thanks for the reply. How do they stack up against a Cedar Creek or TKL high end cases? I think we have all experienced the $30.00 Asian cases. I just don't want to go down that path again.

I haven't seen either of the other cases so I don't know how they match up. I just went in the house and put one on the floor and stood on the arched top and there was no deflection to it and I weigh 200 lbs..
The finish and seams of the case seem nice and tight.
Shipping was only 4.50 per case from NC to NH so very reasonable

They only sell wholesale, which means in lots of 4, so no advantage for a group buy that I can see. I believe they have another price break-point but it is way up there. Their price is about $20 less per unit (as best I can recall) than I paid last time from TLK direct for their "professional" case.
