I've never submitted anything to SGC so can't speak to turnaround time, but just received/opened yet another case that's split on 3 sides, to where the card and flip can be easily removed. This makes maybe 8-10 I've received like this over the past year or two, and this was a brand new flip/case. I chalked the first 1-2 up to rough handling, or perhaps shoddy packing, but at this point I think the cases are just very flimsy and brittle. I've never received a case from another TPG that's been damaged to the point it's totally compromised.
Like many, I prefer the look of the SGC cases with certain sets, however take with a grain of salt any mention of their cases being the most sturdy.
