This has worked for a solid semester of transporting my violin across campus every day. Nice and weatherproof, although I would recommend purchase of a silk violin bag for an extra layer of protection against temp/humidity changes if that's a concern. Some of the storage is compromised for the sake of a sleek, small case, but I have still found room for multiple rosin cakes, a cleaning cloth, a few mutes, and an extra set of strings. This case can comfortably store two bows, but it is a snug fit. They will reach to the ends of the case. There IS room for a shoulder rest, if you have one that's not bulky (ideally a compact one). It will hang from the top of the case when opened. I turn the legs in on my shoulder rest, and it fits comfortably. If you use the provided blanket to cover your instrument, your shoulder rest won't touch it. The shoulder straps are not super comfortable but they are functional as either backpack-style straps or a single over-the-shoulder strap. There are only 2 hinges that lock down, but they close the case tightly and are plenty strong. There have been a couple times when I am in a hurry and miss closing one of them, but just one is strong enough to keep the case secure (phew!). Overall, very pleased with the functionality for the price.

Great case for efficiently and safely packing an expensive violin and take it on a plane.

A beautiful and functional case. Sleek / fashionable design.
Holds violin and 2 bows securely with room for shoulder rest and compartment for other accessories such as rosin, extra strings and bridges.
I will more than likely purchase more of these in the future in different colors to tell my different electric violins apart!

My violin did not fit. It is a full 4/4 violin that is slightly unique to the standard Strad violin, but it fits in all other cases I've used. The lid was resting on the bridge on would not close unless I were to push it shut (which I did not want to do). The case is pretty inside and out, but has no room for a shoulder rest, even a small one. There was also a chemical smell that I'm sure would dissipate over time, but it was noticeable and strong, and lingered in the room for a while after opening it. It was stronger inside of the case. I will continue searching for a different case.

Nice product. My daughter got it as a Christmas present and has been using it ever since. It's durable and lightweight. Sleek looking. It fits the instrument, bow and shoulder rest with room for rosin. So far no scratches and the case is used by a 6th grader in regular orchestra, honors orchestra and private lessons.
