Exactly what I needed

Exactly what I needed. It would have been even batter if it had 4 wheels to ease when traveling with multiple bags (so you don't need to tilt to roll).

This is a great case!!! Didn't think it was big like that, but with the dividers, it can hold a lot of my photography gear when working an event. I would definitely recommend this case!
