Used it to travel from Seattle to Puerto Rico. My carbon bike arrived just fine. TSA did open it but didn't touch anything. I like this particular case because even with the bike, it's still under 50lbs. Some airlines like to stack fees for both oversize and overweight, so if the box is under 50lbs, that's one less thing they can try to squeeze you on.

I had that case and had terrrible luck with it. It ws fine as long as you only want to go in a straight line, but if you turn a corner it tipped over. The 3rd time I flew with it, the nylon strap broke.. Yes 3, three, tres, trois flights and it broke.

Luckily, the return policy is very good.

I now have a Trico IronCase, and like it much better. Easier to pull, and seems more durable - only one trip so far, though. I bought it used on Craigslist.
