Best non Vietnam 1680 case?

[xray7]

Are there any other contenders in between the quality of a Phong/Jensen 1680 and a JKF 1680 (and that is quite a gap) worth the money?

Ruby's cases are Vietnam cases. In fact, it is said they all come from the same original supplier. MQ and Phong just get first dibs on them before others do, and then they each rework them a little differently. Ruby is a great alternative to get the same case but for less money. You have to do more work yourself, however, so that's the tradeoff.

MBW/ old noob cases are very good compared to cartel.

Ruby = Vietnam

Anything that is gen spec is Vietnam

Ruby is the best, but is Vietnam (of course).
