I purchased this case to hold my new at home/concert violin, which it will just sit in my room, planning to use my more durable school violin case to transport it for concerts. I second guessed my plans when I took it out of the box, it looked rather nice. I was disappointed to see no metal clasp-only zippers, but was glad to see a neck strap and cover cloth. The only downside is, there is no padding for the base of the violin, so I, for a while at least, will use the cover cloth as padding and use an alternative piece of cloth as the actual cover cloth. The interior pocket is nice, it also has a zip pocket on the outside, and I am pretty sure I can fit my Wolf shoulder rest by the scroll of the violin. Overall, for $20, it is a great case. I would not recommend taking it on a bus or plane though, as it is almost too light to be very safe. Bellafina Model 55 Violin Case 4/4 Size
This little case is quick in a pinch, holds a violin like it's supposed, and is supper cheap. I bought since it will go on a flight with me (empty) to pick up a violin in another country. I do not need a pro case since the violin I'm picking up is for me, and most likely will be for my own enjoyment.
Pros
It's super light.
Has backpack strap.
Will protect the instrument as a carry on on the flight back.
Inexpensive.
Cons
No latches.
May break on a hard enough impact.
Overall: Great for the price, and will get my job done. I do intend purchasing a better case for the violin once I'm back in the states.'
