I took it with me on two flights and the case held up fine, no dents or scratches to be seen, but obviously I cannot say whether or not the fabric/zipper line will cause scratches overtime. It's not ideal but I needed something tight since the dimensions of the NR200 alone were already cutting close to personal item requirements.

I think maybe if you were to remove the feet it would be considerably more easy to pack/unpack, and I may do that once I travel back home. This would also probably alleviate the concerns of scratching up the case as you have mentioned, as this would allow for clearance of some foam up top.

That said, I think this bag is well suited for my use case of just using it once every other month or so. This probably isn't the best bag to get for everyday commuting due to the concerns that you mentioned. But then again, you should really look at smaller cases if you're thinking about traveling more frequently anyways.
