I had the 2.0s originally in each if the sizes and needed to upgrade, and saw that they were going to improve upon the old. We'll they certainly did. The back magnets hold the cases like a vice when moving them around, and the mag locks at the glass/acrylic are a wonderful new feature. I dont know if it was my placing of the hinges, but I couldn't get them to align exactly, but they hold really well either way. The vinyl cover/back pack mode is also a great feature, if a little unwieldy with the XL case. And the new handles are so much easier to install than the old 2.0. Great cases, I highly recommend.
