SKB Trap X2 Drum Hardware Case with Built-in Cymbal Vault Review

I was very excited to get the TPX2 case but very quickly found that it has a major flaw.
First however, The Good:
-it is a brilliant idea to include cymbal vault on the side of the case - this worked flawlessly.
-i like the carpeted area for the snare
-the wheels are good quality and are lockable
and now, The Bad:
-your hi-hat and cymbal stands will NOT fit in the hardware section!! I suppose I should have understood that this is "a scaled-down trap case" (SKB's description) but because it loads vertically, and your cymbal stands are vertical, the "lift-off hardware tray" will NOT fit. In fact even if you don't use the lift-off tray, where one would presumably put a kick pedal or a stick bag, the closing lid will definitely not fit because most crash stands are too tall! Unless you're putting snare/tom stands in the hardware section you absolutely cannot fit your cymbal stands, even when taking them apart. When I discovered this I laughed out loud and said "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME."
I'm returning the TPX2 in favor of the TPX1.

SKB Trap X1 Large Drum Hardware Case, with Internal Tray and Wheels Review

In general this is a quality case, works well enough for my purposes. I have a 5 piece kit, and all of the drum hardware, plus my seat and stick bag fit inside. Don't even have to break down my hi hat stand, which is nice. The internal tray is handy for auxiliary percussion storage.
However, I've used it for a few weeks, about 5 gigs, and already the rubber bumpers on the bottom of the case have broken off. Not a huge deal, but for this kind of cash I'd expect them to last longer. Also, I've had to make a repair/replacement of one of the inside straps. The clasp is quite cheap (plastic), and broke the first time I used it. Replaced it with a metal one from my previous case, which has worked fine.
