I've had this case for over a year now, and use it just about every weekend for bar gigs and similar. It still looks and works great! For me it is the perfect gig bag. Veeery sturdy, super practical, discrete design and colour scheme, and comes at a great price. Love it and highly recommend it!
I have never needed to use the big, flat pocket on the "body" of the gig bag, so can't comment on the practicality of that, but I love the rectangular bag on the neck, where I keep my strap, which is thick and sturdy, and doesn't fit in the bag with the guitar. There is room for much more than a strap, of course. You could put a mic and a couple of cables as well. Furthermore, on the front, towards the top of that bag is small, flat pocket, where I keep a couple of sets of strings and a stringwinder.
If in the market for a super sturdy gigbag, look no further!
