So I finally got a new double case (postscript to my male cat going on my case)

Some of you remember a few months ago I posted about my male cat marking my double case with his scent and asking for ideas on how to remove the smell. Well, I finally bit the bullet about a month ago, and bought a new double case, which I got delivered almost 2 weeks ago, which I'm really happy with. It's the Allora Double Clarinet Case. I do not work for the company, nor had I heard of them until I decided to start looking for a new one after Christmas, but I am so pleased with it that I'd like to share my review (and other reviews have been extremely positive about it, but I didn't read the others until AFTER I wrote mine. So here it is:
<<If you are looking for an affordable double case that has room for all your clarinet stuff that is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry, this is a great value for the money—especially at the price of at least one-half of many other double clarinet cases on the market.

I had another double clarinet case prior to this one which had various issues the Allora case does not. My old double clarinet case turned out to be too heavy for a carry onto flights with just my instruments and outside of the maximum dimensions, which the Allora case fits the maximum dimensions and was under the maximum weight allowed as a carry on on flights even with all my equipment. Even if you did have to put this case in the cargo hold, which is not recommended for musical instruments, it is much more airtight than other double clarinet cases. As well, it has four pockets for extra barreljoints (although I only have two barrejoints, my standard one and a back-up), and an extra strap. The hooks on the straps of the Allora case too, are metal, not plastic (unlike my old double case), making them likely to be much more durable in the long run; on my old double case they were plastic and broke in approximately a year.

Another nice feature of the Allora double case is that unlike many other clarinet cases, you can stand it on its end, making it easy to carry in tight spaces on all types of vehicles.>>>

I bought mine through amazon.com, the Canadian version of the site didn't carry it, and the original site I planned to get it from didn't ship it to Canada for some reason or another. Most sites sell it for about $35.

Plus the zipper on my old case wasn't working properly anyway, partly from the damage that cat did, and I'm hiding my case where that cat can't go on it when I'm not using the case.
