Anyone pledging for this?, good idea for a company to develop a product in this way?,

Looks a great idea for carrying a guitar/bass easily IMHO

Having been badly let down by the Mono M80 case which is seriously uncomfortable to wear for more than a few minutes I'd never buy another gig bag without trying it out first.

Really good idea. Can hear the complaints already about it not being secure enough on one shoulder to do a single trip from the car with your whole rig though... Not from me I might add!

Well, the chocolate lab is really too cool. Is that a iGig that they've cut up for the prototype?

It looks like a good idea, although I'm not sure of the benefits of carrying something really heavy on just one shoulder. The good thing about a backpack style gig bag is that the weight is evenly distributed across your shoulders.

From personal experience it seems that the more protection the gig bag offers the instrument the less comfortable it is to wear on your back (and being able to carry the instrument on my back when I'm walking to gigs/rehearsals is for me the whole point of having a gig bag).

Wasn't the retail price going to be about 200 dollars? Seems a tad OTT for a gig bag. I love the idea though.

Looks interesting - would definitely need to try one out before spending that kind of money though!

Anyone else tried these yet? I'm in the market for a single padded case. These look decent. Cay you access the guitar from the top, or do you have to lie it flat to get the bass out? Storage looks limited.
