The padding should thicker so it will protect the keyboard better

My other critique is that the music stand that is part of the keyboard (a removable piece) scratches the keyboard if stored in with the keyboard.

There is a modest amount of padding which will protect the keyboard and its controls from minor jostling/bumping/scraping during storage or transport, but nothing which offers protection from being dropped, manhandled, or major accidents or carelessness

You can probably get a cheaper case but this is a good match for a good keyboard

Not expecting it to protect the keyboard it I

It won't stop you from destroying the keyboard if you drop it, but it will prevent scratches in dents on minor bumps.

the keyboard fits like a glove.

Fits my Casio keyboard perfect

It could use a bit more padding over the keys and this is definitely not a case for shipping or checking on a plane, but overall it does a good job protecting the keyboard in the car.

so it doesn't scratch the keyboard when it's inside.

It's a nice, snug fit and padded; I feel the keyboard is secure.

but it's only about 1/2 inch and is about what one needs to make removing and replacing the keyboard fairly easy.
