Disappointing [Posted on 2000-07-03]
The only levels I own are Stabilas. In the past, I had been so disgusted with various non-Stabila levels (particularly M-D, or Mecklenburg-Duncan) that I once threw one (a M-D) into a freshly poured concrete retaining wall for additional reinforcement. When you pay that kind of money for a Stabila level, the idea of purchasing a case to protect it is very tempting. Over the years, during various promotions at various supply houses, I have received cases free with my purchase of Stabila levels. Well, save your money. Just pulling out the level and replacing it at the end of the day wore out the case within two weeks, and I was very careful. The exterior of the case fell apart almost as quickly and the zipper wasn't far behind. The nylon became very brittle so there was no way of repairing the case. Very disappointing for a company that is known for a fabulous product line, unsurpassed in quality and without question the best in its field. I suggest what carpenters and many others such as tile setters do - buy a 3" or 4" diameter 4' to 8' length of ABS (or PVC) pipe, cap one end and put a threaded adapter with a threaded cap on the other. This will also protect it from being bent if you drop something on it. Besides, it's less expensive.

Does a good job [Posted on 2001-09-20]
I own several Stabila levels and have a case for each and every one. I'm not sure what the last reviewer was talking about, I use the cases and levels just as much and never had a problem. I even had a similar case (probably the same manufacturer, looks exactly the same) for two of my smart levels for at least 10 years no complaints. Worth the money for the piece of mind.
