Works amazing! Glad I finally bit the bullet and got one of these for drums. Sure, the top half surface of the case is made from an old "soft touch" plastic that has broke down over the years, making the surface sticky. But just after 5 minutes of just wiping it down with a few paper towels and some rubbing alcohol it's not sticky at all and super smooth. This method will fade away some of the text and color but it's a good tradeoff. Others have even went as far as sanding down the surface and painting over it entirely, choice is yours. Great product!
