Will SKB's plastic "hardware" be on EBMM cases?

Hi, EBMM people.

Will SKB's new plastic "hardware" (for lack of a better term) make its way on to the Music Man cases in the future? Just curious, not making any judgments yet.

For readers who don't know what they look like, here are some pics.

Here's the TSA-approved lock.

Okay, well...I guess the handle is rubber.

I'd say eventually yes...

I can see catching those things on doorframes and drum hardware and slow-moving nuns and whatnot.

How about flying nuns? Or maybe nuns who sing on mountain tops in the Alps?

Maybe the nuns will move faster once they find out the hills are alive with the sound of music.

Or maybe, Jack's right. Maybe, they'll be a fraulein catcher. Do you think that's like a chick magnet?

I'm planning on replacing my SKB cases. They are okay until you use them a lot, it seems the rivets that attach the hinges to the plastic snap free from repeated use.

In true musician frashion, my original JP7 case now has duct tape hinges.
