Different models of Protec cases

Author: clarnibass

Hi

Does anyone have experience with different models of Protec cases? I'm specifically trying to find out if other models such as the Zip, Micro Zip and others have the same hard "foam" that the Max has (which feels more like a type of shaped cardboard than foam)?

Thanks

The Micro cases from what I've seen (both clarinet and oboe ones) have a high density foam (probably EVA foam) inside tray which has some squish/give and cushioning to it instead of being rock hard like fabric covered cardboard.
