CSV-F18

Lightweight, just the size for the basics, big pocket compartment. Stylish. The purple one is very pretty! I picked it over the plain colors.

I received this three days ago and I am liking this case a lot. It is really beautiful. The material outside and inside is of good quality. I am glad that there are no zippers to worry about. Easy to open and close. It is very compact and therefore has only one small compartment to keep your rosin and tuner. Like others have mentioned, the shoulder rest will have to be held in place by velcro inside the lid portion. Not all shoulder rests will fit this case. That is the only problem with this case that I see but if you use a Kun shoulder rest you should be fine.5 stars from me for this case so far. No scratches of any sort anywhere. I will update this review after 25 days. I will be getting two shoulder rests - a Bon Musica and a Kun, so I will update this review based on that.

I love the small size and attractiveness of this case. It has some heft still to it so it feels sturdy, with a handle that looks like it was built to last. The two latches take some getting used to - it's not super easy to open and close them at the same time with your two hands. Violin fits very snug, so I have to insert mine flat directly from above to fit in place rather than just putting one end in first. I've been able to place my shoulder rest upside down under the neck of the violin by spinning the feet a little and will put in some bubble wrap to protect the violin from it. The velcro that might have been designed to hold the shoulder rest is useless. Definitely need to air out this case as it stinks at first. You really can only fit one bow. The second bow would crush into your violin when closing it, so I just went ahead and easily removed the second bow holder with a phillips screwdriver since it was in the way anyway and made it difficult to use the first bow holder. I'm concerned that my bow might get scraped over time from the bow holding mechanism but only time will tell. I like that it comes with a cloth cover for the violin and that the accessories compartment does not have any zippers that could break. I'm happy so far! We'll see how well it lasts.

My 6th grader is extraordinarily rough on her instrument as she can be clumsy and absentminded. So when her father gave her his hand-me-down violin without an adequate case, I had to find something that was practically military grade. And this case is perfect. Her instrument has survived being banged around walls, the school bus, and falling down the stairs. And the case is such a pretty color! She can always immediately pick out her instrument among her friends' plain black cases in the orchestra room. We are very happy.

It is very not surdy in form. You have to pay extra attention to close it. I would rather buy the basic case made of wood.

the purple is prettyhard cases are fun because u can decorate em with stickersanother reviewer said their violin got soaked in the rain with this case but i havent tested that theory yet

Good looking case. Chin rest did not fit and received with No shoulder straps. Returned.

I bought this to take camping and provide more protection than my foam case. I was able to fit my 7/8 size fiddle, collapsible shoulder rest, and two bows. Rosin, a tuner, a mute and a cloth went into the accessory compartment. I'd like to see heavier duty hinges and clasps, but they seem adequate for now.
