My main complaint about the Gator case is the placement of the handles (prefer a 
single, stronger center handle to two side ones) and the lack of a crossbar on the wheel 
side flush with the wheels (meaning that you can't stand it up straight on its wheels very 
well, because it ends up at an angle and can tip over if you aren't careful!)

It's certainly a good case elsewise, though, especially for the price. Very rugid and fits the Andromeda easily.
