This is a quality gun case, but it has changed since they first introduced the Flight Series gun case. I own one from when they first came out and the outside material is heavier duty and more water resistant. That gun case when held horizontal will stay straight where this one will fold in half. My original case also has a waterproof zipper on the pocket where this one does not. The last difference, which bothers me the most, is the velcro closure of my old one was more than half the length of the case which allowed for drying the inside of the case very easy. This new case is only about 8-10". You can literally see the difference in the promo picture they have on this page vs the product pictures. I just didn't notice it when I ordered. I feel like the $30 more for the Flight Series case vs the other floating cases was literally for a metal vs plastic buckle and a metal carabineer. If this build matched my first case I'd be satisfied with paying the additional $30.
