Made by TKL, the OEM case manufacturer for quite a bit of guitar brands. Made to fit your contoured Ovation guitars. The protection on the front of the guitar seems thinner than the back, obviously because of the bowl shape, but it is still about an inch of foam and molded plastic so I'm sure it would survive bumps and bruises along the way. I have one for my shallow bowl, and bought this for my sister in law, who had to "gate check" her guitar when boarding a 10 hour flight plus a transfer to another shorter flight and guitar arrived in perfect condition at the final destination. Of course gate check is not the same thing as checking your luggage, but still giving your prized guitar to airline/airport workers (or anyone you don't know for that matter) and receiving it back intact after 15-16 hours of airline travel with transfers would make anyone better about their purchase.
