What's up with the new Fender SKB case?

In my opinion, the freedoms, were the worst case they even put into production. Since it was their eco-line, the plastic was super thin and brittle. I saw a ton of those things broken. They discontinued them I believe.

I read someplace these are ATA certified. I'll see if I can find where I read that.

Any word on cases for Jazzmasters or Jaguars? I saw Jazz bass cases on the website but nothing for other offsets.
