Overall, the quality seems good right out of the box; I can confirm that shipping was fast, which is always a plus. I really love that I don't have to worry about removing the controller sticks before storing it, which saves a lot of setup time on-site. However, I have to be honest, the rigidity isn't quite what I expected based on the photos online.
It works well, but it's definitely more flexible than some of the ultra-hard cases out there. Other buyers seem to feel similarly about the structure not being totally rigid.
Where things get a bit frustrating is the internal layout. I noticed some comments about the internal foam arriving crushed, and while mine wasn't completely ruined, the foam insert felt a bit messy upon arrival, suggesting maybe form deformation issues during transit. You really need to work with the internal padding to get everything seated perfectly, especially if you are trying to fit everything from the Smart Combo in one go.
It seems like a snug fit is the goal, but that internal setup needs refinement to truly earn five stars.
If you prioritize capacity and want a case that accommodates your setup without removing the controller sticks—a massive time-saver—then this product is a viable option. It offers great protection for outdoor shooting, provided you handle the internal setup carefully. For the convenience it offers in keeping the Avata 2 and its accessories together, I'd still recommend checking out this **Portable Case** if organization is your main goal.
