In some cases one's lean into a turn is restricted by the cases.

Further, the cases are not quick release, nor are the locked cases; a key must be used to release the tops versus just a simple push button. Good for security unless someone really wants the case and then they just take it, but a little pain to open and close on glides around town.

Really wanted these over the years but I'm not too sure now. My backpack seems to work well. Another couple months and I'll know.

Definitely not quick release. In order to remove the cases and hold by the handles, you need to use a torx wrench on two (2) separate screws for three (3+) plus minutes. Definitely not a quick release.
I have a set…installed them, tried them for a short time and took them off. My main reason for doing so was that they restricted my lean and I didn't like it.

They can be set outward more on each side, but this adds a lot to the i2 width. On the x2 configuration…probably no big deal (I never tried).

That said…mine did NOT shift around while gliding.

Also, I distinctly recall a quick-release for the CASE (the case frame was left behind on the Segway…mounted to the cargo plate).

Something definitely doesn't sound right about your installation…almost like you are missing the case frames or something.
