Good quality case
Before I bought it, I was doubtful about whether the guitar would fit in the case. I bought the case asking many questions to the Thomann customer representatives. They said "yes, they will fit". But I was still doubtful. But when I received the guitar and case, I saw that my doubts were nonsense. The guitar perfectly fitted in the case very good. By the way, thank you very much to Thoman customer representatives.
The look of the case is very nice. It has a good balance to carry the guitar.
I preferred this case especially because it is suitable for 12-string dreadnought guitars. If one day I buy a 12-string dreadnought, I can easily use this case for also 12 strings.
There's also a compartment for the accessories such as picks, tuner, replacement strings, etc. It looks and feels to me more expensive than its price.
Happy with that purchase.

Yet another testament to Thomann service and quality.
I initially made an inaccurate guess at the case my wife's guitar would need. This Gator Hardshell was recommended after sending measurements of the guitar to Thomann's experts. The speedy and efficient return and re-purchase left us with a case that has served us well. The case has stood up to many years of loading and unloading on frequent round trips, whether to the local Thursday night gig (when there were such things) or further afield. This case definitely does the job it was built for. And with the helpful and courteous service taken into account - another Thomann class act.

Review for Yamaha FG830 owners
I bought this for my Yamaha FG830 to compare with the Yamaha CPX case I originally bought for it. This is of a better build quality, better materials, slightly better fit (the CPX case seems a little too snug in my opinion) and has good heel support too. The latches are also far smoother and the locking latch works very well, although one of them is a little misaligned and therefore just slightly annoying to close.
There is a little too much room for the guitar to move side to side, so keep this in mind in case you're looking to buy this to transport your guitar regularly. However, the headstock/tuners won't touch the sides of the case regardless of how much it moves and I'm sure a little bubble wrap or extra cloth will fix it in case you're unwilling to dish out far more money on a fitted case.
Its fits the FG830 well enough and overall, there really isn't much to complain about especially at this price point. Just keep in mind the aforementioned side to side movement in case it's something that may put you off. For home storage and a little moving around, however, it's perfect.
The misaligned latch is the only reason I gave 4 stars for the quality.

Really solid case, feels more expensive
I'm not an expert on guitars or cases by no means, I'm just an amateur player. This is my humble opinion on the guitar case.
Immediately upon opening, I was pleasantly surprised by the looks of it. It looks really nice and is finely balanced when carrying around. It fitted my Epiphone DR-100 perfectly (actually there was some extra space left!). There's a middle compartment for accessories which can fit all the basic stuff you need (picks, tuner, extra strap etc). It looks and feels more expensive than the price tag.
With the guitar, its weight is around 7kg which is comfortable for an average man carrying it around but my girlfriend said it would be too difficult for her to carry it around on longer distances (let's say if you had to carry it for 15 minutes). Keep that in mind, if you'll be carrying it around a lot, it's better to buy a higher priced soft case.
Overall, I was really happy with my purchase. Cheers Thomann!

Good all-rounder
I bought this to go with the Ibanez 12 string I've just had from Thomann. It will also fit my Harley Benton HBO 600, my HBO 650 or my trusty old dreadnought workhorse. I have an old hard case which (relatively, at the time) cost rather more than this Gator case, yet this new case seems to me to have better quality fittings and finish. I expect I shall enjoy many years service with this well-made case.

Splendid bit of kit
I'm a gormless oaf and need everything to be gorilla proof. This case is just that. Can't fault it. Inside and out tough as old boots.

I love this hard-case.
I have been using this hard-case for my 12 string acoustic guiar and it's perfect. 3 or so months since I got it and I can't say a bad thing.
Pros.
1. Handling is perfect. Easy to carry around, lightweight and has a lot of room. Good looking material.
2. Quality. Like I said, I have been using this for 3 months and it still looks all brand new. Not a dent, not a scratch. Of course, I have been taking thoughtful care of it, however I have previously had other hard-cases that got dirty quickly and were not so easy to clean. This one is easy to clean, so getting any kind of dirt or liquid is not a big problem a t all.
3. Durable. Unfortunately, I have had a couple of instances where this hard-case fallen to the ground with the guitar inside, but like I said previously - no scratches or visible damages and guitar - safe and sound.
This is a perfect acoustic guitar hard-case for your 6 or 12 string guitar. Love mine and I'm considering on ordering another one sometime in the near future. I highly recommend if you need a good hard-case for touring and playing live.

Gator Hardshell Dreadnought case 6 string.
Unbelievable case. Got everything going for it. The hinges alone are great and completely shut guitar with their positions.
The one i got is for the 6 string so im getting the same case for a 12 string. I use the guitar for gigging so it travels real well. So sturdy. I would recommend this case to anyone, .

Good case. Bought for a 12 string Ibanez dreadnought shaped guitar. There was a small flaw in the seam, but not critical. Overall a good case.
