This case is very nicely made and very durable. There's plenty of room inside for your cards, coins, ropes, etc. I actually took this to my first gig and it was great! The case closes via latch. There are two keys included for the keyhole on the latch. For me, the lock is hard to use and is annoying. I just use the latch and it stays closed. I recommend this to anyone who wants to carry their magic in a not so expensive, small but roomy case.

When I pulled this case out of the box, my first impressions were "OK, this is slick, definitely a step up from my old storage." But as soon as I opened it, I became disappointed, because there are no pouches or straps to hold anything in place! Now, I'm no master seamster, so this was a problem, luckily I had some elastic straps left over from some homemade reels and was able to super glue some of them in a row so I could keep some bits in place. It's a nice case, but I feel like a real close-up case for magicians would have pouches and straps for an organized case. Still a solid product, but remember some superglue and elastic straps!
