Recently I was treated to a sampling of the new Viviana Straps from Soundfish, based out of Italy. I wanted to play around with them a bit before writing this review, and I am very glad that I did.

Some of you might have gotten a look at this case if you attended NAB this year, along with some of the other goodies that K-Tek has coming up the pipeline. I got my hands on this just recently, and so here’s my first look.

Today I’m taking a quick look at the KSFA1 Shark Fin Antenna Case from K-Tek! The first thing that I can say about it is that it feels sturdy, without being totally stiff. There are a few other options for Shark Fin cases out there (Versaflex for example), but this one has a more protective feel than the others that I have encountered.
