The case is 5 1/2" long and the interior is 7/8 x 5".  The custom fit cap adds another inch to the overall length.  Interior is on center with the eight flats.  This is the same style case I use to hold my 1917 take-down calls, only those are Cherry.  Took a long time to figure out how to do it with my modest bench top equipment.  A lot of sanding and filing while still keeping the eight edges sharp.  What makes the case unique is the blind hole.  
Glad you like it.

Ralph
