This is a great violin case! I was looking for something a bit smaller than the oblong cases, to make it easier for travel, and this was perfect for that. The case I had before this one was a Pedi case for $215, but I had to get rid of it because the handles fell off. The handle on this won't be going anywhere, it's very thick and durable. I was surprised to be able to fit my large shoulder rest inside. I also like that the velcro part that straps around the neck is thick, all the others I've had were flimsy and didn't hold my violin in place very well. There is storage for music with a pop-out expanding section in case you have larger music. If you're looking for a lightweight case this isn't for you, but protection is all that matters for me. And for the price, this is very well-built, hard and sturdy.
