Review of the new Mathews Heli-M i-series case by SKB. I've had this case for a bit and I wanted to do a good review from my perspective. I don't like reading long reviews so I'm going to do a quick list of pros & cons then expand if needed. Pros: Heavy Duty - not afraid to fly with this case (I'd even take it on Delta) or throw out of a moving vehicle 4 Lock Spots - next to each heavy duty clasp is a spot for combo or key lock (essential when traveling) Airtight and Waterproof - a great feature because I throw this case into the back of my truck or Mule while out. Wheels - the wheels are great for walking through an airport or wheeling into basement, house, etc Holds a Dozen Arrows - because we all have lost, broke, or ruined a spine 2 Straps to Secure the Bow - the Heli-M fits like a glove but the straps are great to know my bow wont get loose Not Heavy - notice I didn't say 'light'; this case is heavy duty so it feels like it but it isn't so heavy I'm leaning over when carrying Slim - this case is not fat; unlike SKB predecessors this case is slim and isn't bulky Cons: Price - expensive case but I want to protect an expensive investment Width - above I said slim is great BUT I can not have my quiver attached to my bow inside the case. Limited Front Room - with this I mean the stabilizer I have has to be folded up (I use a Cobra knuckle *review to come*) Short - the case is short from end to end BUT this only matters when wheeling it; I'm 6'1" and I cant roll the case while in a natural walking position. For anyone shorter I think the case will roll nicely behind you without hitting your heels. Cutout - this is a personal con; I would like 1 or 2 cutouts of foam in the corners to hold my release, small broadhead box, etc. Overall: This is a great, sharp looking, and heavy duty case. When I spend a lot of money on a bow and tackle I want to know that some lousy baggage thrower isn't going to damage my gear while on a trip. This case shows that SKB put some time and thought (along with Mathews) into developing a product purely for the Heli-M. I would recommend this case because (to me) the pro's outweight the cons. Hope you enjoyed my review.
