The Gard bag was discussed on Dave Werden's forum. Here's a direct link to the post in a discussion thread about gig bags:

There is a mid-suspension bag for tuba. Check it out. I want one.

I really dislike any activity that keeps a euph bell-down for any length of time.

The Gard case would be doing that for a lot of the time.

I find it oil-soaks the top felts and makes the valves "thumpy",
