Got my Travelite TL-50 Dreadnought case today. Fit is nicely snug on the lower bout, a little room on the upper bout. Plenty of room in the headstock area. The built-in hygrometer (quality undetermined) does not impact the headstock when closed. Additionally, there is a scalloped area in the middle of the lid so the top does not press down on the bridge when closed. It isn't too heavy and also not super bulky, but gives enough protection for most scenarios for me. The accessory area is the deep square area under the neck. Has a small metal pull to lift up. Area would fit a lot of strings, picks, etc.
If I had to quibble, I'd say they could have put some nicer padding on the shoulder straps. Also, the wrap around the handle looks like it could have used maybe a 1/4" more fabric to help it close. That said, for the price paid, this is a nice gig bag and what I was looking for in terms of price point and protection. Not a lot of photos of the inside online so providing photos below of my Dupont Nomade for fit with a typical Selmer size.
