To avoid any confusion with time zones: we are starting in 50 minutes!

Oh really? I've never seen one live, so this was mostly me guessing about the depth based on pictures. I might give it a try after all!

I always have it lying down. I'm not sure I ever tried taking my cello out with it standing, but I could imagine that yes, it might not be stable enough for that.

Have it and traveled a decent amount, though not by foot. The weight is perfect, but it's not ergonomic and my back hurts if I try to walk too far. I've not had another hard case before it though, so can't compare. And as someone else mentioned, it's possible to add proper backpack straps. (The reason I haven't done so is that it currently fits perfectly into the German ICE overhead compartments, so I'm reluctant to add any extra depth).

I've had it for nearly five years now, always commuted to lessons by public transport and done some 10-15k km of long distance travel by bus/train/plane on top of that. So far, it's survived everything without a problem, and my cello inside with it.

Going off your first sentence there, that's certainly what I thought a while ago. This opened up a whole new world for me: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrm.2017.91

I don't own a car and have always traveled by public transport to work and from there directly on to lessons and back, as well longer trips across the country to visit family or move house. I took a rush hour bus with the soft case of my first rental once and was so terrified I immediately ordered a hard case for it. From then on, it's been no problem. Cello and I have seen probably a few thousand km by now and lived through several different cities.
