I need a hard case that would save my Engl Special Edition head from moisture (as much as possible) and from various hits/bumps/impacts/shaking that appears everyday by transporting it with my SUV or carrying it by hands from vehicle to rehearsing or gigging places...
And the case would better be as light as possible, as i will be carrying it myself (alone, without others helping me most of the time), so the good handles and positioning of them + maybe even wheels..

If possible, post links. I'm located in Europe, for me it's pretty complicated to buy things from USA/Canada, etc...

Thanks in advance.
 
Cases.com.au will custom-cut a case for you for a relatively good price. They're very good quality, and I highly recommend them. They're Australian-based, but ordering internationally shouldn't be too big a deal.
 
Djabthrash - what exactly case did you buy, how does it fit your Engl SE and how does it service for you?

This one :

This head is my precious so it prevents me from damaging it when i have to transport it somewhere (rehearsal place for instance).

Now i don't rehearse any more (no more band... i do my solo home studio thing), so the head stays at home, on the bottom part of the flightcase (the bottom part is the smaller part, and whenever i wanna move my amp head somewhere i just have to put the top part, close it and transport it), on my Cab.

The only thing that bugs me is that the bottom part seems to lack one centimeter or something in terms of depth (i mean vertical length), so if i want to be able to plug my guitar cable into the input jack, i have to put some stuff under my amp head (in between the bottom flightcase part ("floor") and my amp head), like tissues, so that i can plug the cable all the way in. If i didn't do this trick i could plug the cable but it would be touching the flightcase edge and the cable and the jack input would be twisted and then quickly damaged.
Sorry if i failed to explain this... i don't have pictures of this right here, and i don't have the proper English vocabulary either...

This flightcase is tailored after your amp head dimensions. When you order this flightcase you have to tell thomann which amp head you own. I guess of you want the flightcase to be a tad bigger you can give them the dimensions you want.
It seems that the flaw described above is the only one... (maybe i'm not supposed to use the flightcase this way...), but the tissues trick works so i don't mind so much.
