I have the inCase Slim, and i'm wondering how this bag is different. I'm looking to get an additional bag. Conceptually it seems about the same and the internal support padding looks a bit better.
I stuff the following in my inCase Slim bag and I'm wondering if I could fit the same in the iGIG.
- Countryman Type 85 DI
- ST-200 Turbo Tuner
- Korg Metronome
- Leatherman Tool
- Mini Maglight
- Couple pencils/pens
- Couple 9V batteries
- 3 Cables
- Extra Strings
- Two Straps
- VT Bass Pedal
- 2 Archive Manuscript Booklets
With the iGiG 515 bags don't forget your small amp like LMKII, GENZ BENZ,WW ULTRA ACOUSTIC IMAGE OR GK MB2 and bottled water fits in the net outside pocket.
Easily.
I had an inCase Dub for a while. I thought the details are better worked out on the igig. More handles, the storage on the igig is shaped so I can store larger items, padding behind the neck and over the controls, etc.
Plus, the igig case sits lower on my back. I was hitting door frames with the inCase. Not with the igig.

Sounds good ... I don't have a mini amp, but the iGIG definitely gives opportunity to bring one or other gear. I will definitely look into picking one up.
Miko and Ed certainly have a winner here!! My gig bag fits my LEJ, my LMII, music, inears, wallet, cell phone, etc...I have flown with it and actually stored a change of clothes in one of the pockets so I didn't have to carry anything else with me!!! I want another one!!!
When is the double coming out??

Any one tried Incase gig bags? I looked at one in the local store and they seem pretty armored as far as a gig bag goes.
Not trying to steal the thread from the igig bags. They look really nice but I too have been looking for a double bag.

I've owned both the Incase Slim and Dub and also other high-end double bags. The Incase Dub is very solid as far as protection. The only thing negative about it was the weight and storage compartments.

I really cannot stand the new naming convention for like, every other product out there these days. iPod started the whole thing...now it's iGo, iSee, iGolf, iHit, iCase, iDrive

If you're looking for a decent double case I can recommend the Ibanez IDBB5-BK (sorry now link, ibanez' site is frame based).
Well padded, and well constructed. Obviously not in the same league as the others in this thread as it cost me around £70, but it's a lot of case for the money. So don't expect a large pocket to get your mini amp in too.
One thing they have thought about though it 2 basses = a lot of weight to carry on your back, so they've kindly set a couple of wheels in the bottom rear edge. Fantastic. And there's a neat little pull out stand so that it can stand upright.

That's awesome
I've been very satisfied using the UPS Customer Service section located alongside their terminal. The last three basses I shipped were $35.00; $28.00; and $27.00. All insured.
My iGiG arrived yesterday. Very nice. I adjusted the neck pillow a skosh since my Fender only has tuners on one side, I wanted it a little offset to protect them. All velcro. No worries.
My LMII fits with room to spare. It does not seem too heavy either. It has three handles, not including the backpack straps and it is easy to grab whatever one (or two) that you need. My hands find them quite naturally for some reason.
I have not figured out where I am going to keep each item that I carry yet but this looks like it will do everything that I need.
Not sure what to do with the extra little purse thingy that was included either but I guess I will find something to stow in there as well.
I would still like to see a Mono up close as I think the neck pillow is more like a trough and I think that might help secure the bass a little better but overall, I am pleased with this purchase. Thanks Miko!

Try the bag and you'll forget all about the name. Or better yet, don't. It leaves more for the rest of us who can get past petty naming conventions ;p. Who cares what the name is if the product rawks?
