The quality of this case was better than I expected, especially when compared to other cases in this price range. It is very light, which can be oh so important when walking to the train or the like. Having a tired hand and arm from carrying a heavy case right before you have to play, is frustrating. The violin is well suspended in the case, the scroll does not rest on the bottom of the case. This is a styrofoam case which is excellent at protecting the instrument from sudden temperature changes, such as going from a heated room to outside in sub freezing weather, BUT a Styrofoam case is NOT as good at protecting the instrument from impact ( eg. people sitting on a case or stepping on it) . If used by a sober adult I would think that this case would be plenty strong enough. The colour is good. Although Protec is a Korean company, I have seen some information intimating that the case is actually made in China. The outside dimension's of this case are larger than some other cases, and that can be a consideration when negotiating overhead compartment space on an airplane.

I bought this for my daughter and we all love the color! I love the big pocket in front where my daughter can put her music in n her shoulder rest. The case is sturdy n very light. My daughter loves that it has straps and can be carried on her back for school. I’d definitely buy again and would recommend to others.

I needed a lightweight case to carry my nice fiddle to gigs as my old case is bulky and heavy. This case is perfect. It offers sturdy protection with its firm construction and at the same time it is light and manageable. My chin rest fits at the top of the case and there is a small compartment for rosin, mute, or spare strings. Straps are included that allow for carrying it like a backpack.

Overall quality is good. Violin fits perfectly. There’s a strap around the neck to keep it secure. Pocket in the front is a good size. The color is true to the picture (I ordered teal)

I absolutely love this case. I ordered two cases at the same time. This one and the Sky Lightweight Shaped Violin Case for my two violins. This one has quality construction, great straps, feels well balanced and looks fantastic. I bought it in the "Mint" color which is really more of a turquoise teal type color (which I was hoping it would be because it's my favorite color). Love it because it doesn't blend in with all the other black cases at practices. I did have to wait longer for it to arrive because of my color choice but it was worth the wait. The pocket on the front is just about big enough to put my folder and music books into - can zip to about 2" of the corner of the books. Also has a second pocket on the front where I store my shoulder rest. I've attached a photo showing how the books look zipped in when there is also a shoulder rest in the other pocket. There are 3 music books (one Suzuki if you're familiar with the size of those books) and a folder full of additional sheet music in this photo. Doesn't zip all the way but close enough for me to make for easy transport. Love this case much more than the Sky one I purchased at the same time. That one is smaller and not nearly as balanced or as good of quality.

I'll start by saying that I consider myself an advanced violin player. My old case was literally falling apart, and I began my case searches here on Amazon. A lot of the cases seemed extremely overpriced, while this Protec case seemed fairly reasonable. The tag "student" violin case should be considered a misnomer. As a lower-level professional, I consider this case just fine. Here were my concerns at the time of purchasing:Is my bow going to fit in without it spreading rosin all over the inside of my case?Yes. Through some clever design, the bow is lifted so that the hair of the bow does not come into contact with the case. There are no rosin issues.Will it be able to fit all of my accessories/sheet music?Sort of. There is a small compartment on the inside that has enough room for rosin, a cleaning towel, and a tuning fork. However, there is no inside compartment large enough for a shoulder rest. For some violinists, beginners particularly, a sponge will fit just fine below the neck of the violin within the case. For others, the shoulder rest must go in awkwardly into the larger bag-pouch up front. I also store in there an electric tuner and electric metronome. There is no conceivable pouch to hold music books or sheet music. This part, I don't mind much, as I think it'd be better to keep the music in a separate bag anyways.And, most importantly, how much does it actually protect my instrument?Unfortunately, not very much. For those that have instruments over $5000, I would have to recommend they find some other case. I have a violin below that number, and I still consider this an effective insurance against basic forms of damage. The case is very solid. Almost certainly, if I drop the case or accidentally hit it against something, I feel confident my instrument would not come to harm. The case seems sturdy and well-built. I would be comfortable using the shoulder-straps of the case and ride on my bike with no fear of the case tumbling out of my control. It seems improbable that the case would open up on its own and the violin dropping onto the floor.Like I said, the case is well designed for basic safety needs. However, this case will probably not be able to withstand an adult accidentally stepping on the case (although for children, I am fairly confident the case would still be fine). Obviously, other freak forms of damage such as flooding, fire, or tornado, would be outside of the intention of the case's design.Some nice features that I was happy to discover once I've gotten the case is probably a good summary of why I like it so much. The outside (handles, rings for shoulder strap or backpack harnesses, pouches, zipper, multitudes of velcro safety measures) all provide a solid feel of comfort, both on carrying and on conscience. The inside does leave a little bit to be desired for, but I have learned to improvise around it.For $50, the case gives me the protection that I desired and then some. Hope it does for you too.

I recently purchased a $4,000 hand made violin and needed a sturdy protective case. I purchased the oblong case (not the violin shaped case) and it came within a few days. I've only had this case a few weeks. The case was impressive from the start. The exterior seems to be made of a strong material that doesn't seem like it would tear easily and should be easy to wipe down if needed. The interior has strong sides with good padding which made me feel confident that it would offer very good protection from bumps and falls. The clip that holds the bows are anchored securely and have a good strong feel to them. The strap that holds the violin inside the case also has a strong feel to it and keeps the instrument very secure. I have a full size violin and it sits snuggly inside (no wiggle room). The inside compartment has enough room for my shoulder rest, rosin and tuner. The outside of the case has a full length zippered pocket so I can put my music books and other items in it. I asked my violin teacher to look at the case as I wanted his opinion on whether this case would protect my instrument. After all, when you spend $4,000 on an instrument, you want to keep it safe! I am happy to report that he gave it high praises. I take my violin to lessons, church and other places so I feel confident that the case will protect the instrument. Although I don't need all of the different straps, it's nice to have the shoulder strap so my hands are free to carry other things. The case has a handle on the end so you can pick it up and stand it on its end. I really love the color (fuscia) because it's different from most cases. Of course the price is very reasonable which is another good feature. The only thing I would change is that the handles to carry it around are clothe and it comes with a Velcro strap to keep them together. I would prefer a plastic handle (one) instead of 2 clothe handles but this is not a deal breaker for me. I would highly recommend this case.

El estuche para mi violín me resultó muy cómodo, práctico, liviano y seguro para trasladarlo además de tener un diseño atractivo.
