I've a TGI hard case and a hiscox. Both do as it says on the tin, however would prefer the Hiscox to be as roomy as the TGI. Both offer good protection imo, TGI has been thrown around by baggage handlers and passed with flying colours.

I'll do dimensions later when I'm home. The neck does not detach, it's on an off centre fulcrum for want of a better explanation.
This video shows the action, not me I might add!

Went to visit Snapdragon at their small workshop in Ongar,Essex today. Gerry ( the designer and brains behind the outfit) Matt ( guitar technician/builder) and the bloke whose name I can't remember couldn't have been more welcoming! All were very approachable and happy to answer any questions we posed. They even made us a brew! I was principally there to see the Snapdragon Mini traXe acoustic. I wasn't disappointed, the guitar was set up very well, still can't get over the folding neck design! I was a little skeptical, however the guitar plays and sounds great for such a small (and plastic) body. The front is bamboo grass?!! Pick up is manufactured to their own specs in China. Gerry sources most of everything else from the UK. Needless to say I've come away having purchased one. They retail at £190 with the expandable cabin bag £25. The guitar itself plays well both acoustically and when plugged in. For such a small guitar it gives I think a generous sound, the action is good also. Pictures to follow, but as you can tell I'm impressed with it and the folding neck! I would say that if you're pretty local give them a bell/email and organise a visit, they couldn't be more amiable.
