Great Case! Bad Foam.
I've had this case for a little more than a year and I use it for my speedlights and and radio triggers. After about the 6 months the foam started to separate from around the openings I created for the speedlights. Now the foam is almost completely useless as the individual openings I created have become just one giant opening. I am now looking for a replacement to carry my speedlights.

Great case for the money.
I'm using this case to transport my Speedlites and a few accessories. While the case isn't large enough to hold more than a body with lens attached and a couple more lenses (or a lens and a speedlite) it's perfect for what I'm using it for. I carry 4 Speedlites and a couple of Gary Fongs in it. It seems reasonably built and the pick and pluck foam was easy to use and held together nicely while I shaped it. Overall a good product at a good price.

The best at pricepoint
TL;DR at end :D
I use this bag to store my Canon L lenses, gripped pro-size body, prime lenses, and flashes. I use it as my carry on for airport travel and as a storage container at my house.
I love the price. I didn't need something that was a mobile doomsday shelter for my lenses but wanted something that would protect my equipment from impact damage, protect from humidity and minor water/liquid spills, and is lockable. It does all of these, which is great, and at a price cheaper than others it is a great deal. If you are a semipro, student, enthusiast, freelancer or are buying your own equipment, then it has a great price/performance ratio.
-It comes with precut foam-core which you can just rip along pre cut squares.
Downsides, things to know about it:
- It does not seem watertight/waterproof. The name says water-resistant but the description says water proof. It is only resistant to water, aka i don't think it would be airtight when submersed in water. There isn't a rubber gasket around the lid. Another choice might be better if you are going to use this in scenarios where your case could fall into the water.
- Extension handle/luggage handle is "meh" quality. It isn't the strong black plastic but is like grocery-store tripod quality. This really isn't an issue since I don't really care about that aspect of the box. Luckily you can dismount if from the box, if you need to, without compromising the integrity of the box.
- To keep completely locked you should use two locks (i use tsa locks) because if you only lock 1 of the latches a potential thief could pry open the opposite side and steal a lens or two from that side.
TL:DR
Great for semi-pros and price conscious, only real downside is that it is not water tight, and you need to use two locks for maximum security. If your gear is in danger of being submersed in water, spend some more money for a completely watertight hardcase.
