Unique “Liteflite” Construction

The criteria for the design called for the construction of the very best lightweight cases possible, encompassing the use of the finest modern materials. The result is a range of cases manufactured using a unique composite double-moulded construction which gives unparalleled protection for your instrument from a lightweight case with a low/medium retail price range.

The construction consists of a moulded, high-impact resistant A.B.S. plastic outer shell bonded directly to an inner moulding manufactured from a unique blend of 'High Tech' cellular foam. This inner moulding is feather-light and, being semi-rigid, is designed to soak up impact shocks from the outside world. The UNIQUE bonding of the inner moulding to the outer shell gives unbeatable, total structural rigidity, UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHER CASE IN THE WORLD in our price range.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (A.B.S.), due to its unique balance of properties, produces mouldings that have strength, toughness and rigidity over a wide temperature range. These characteristics make it the first choice for applications throughout manufacturing businesses worldwide, from computer housings to motor car bumpers and Hiscox Cases!

The case lining is completed with a crushed velvet fabric of different grades depending on the case type. This is bonded directly onto the shaped foam moulding, giving a neatly tailored luxurious feel, perfectly fitted every time.

The aluminium valance is unique to Hiscox Cases. Its design increases the case's rigidity and ensures a favourable lid location to the base when the two halves are closed. Unlike any other case on the market, the valance extends deep inside the case behind the plastic shell, into which all the hardware (handles, catches, hinges etc.) is riveted. This method of fixing greatly reduces the possibility of fittings working loose.
