Top 6 Violin Case Reviews
In this article, we’re doing an in-depth guide to our 6 best violin case reviews. And why they are the best selling violin cases!
For each review, we’ve included a scorecard of the different features. These include weight, protection, durability, temperature resistance, and functionality.
Functionality can include nicer locks, more spacious sheet music pocket, space for shoulder rest, removable accessories pouch, etc.
Keep in mind though, functionality is really based on personal preference. For a violinist who does not use a shoulder rest, having ample space for one in the case may not be necessary.
We also highly recommend watching the videos of each case. Pictures are awesome, but videos give you a much better understanding of how these cases work.

Beautiful wooden case. Beautiful interior. Spacious pockets. Temperature-resistant wooden shells.
If you are looking for an oblong violin case that combines character and craftsmanship at a relatively lower cost, then this product will be the right one for you!
These wooden luxury violin cases are built using a five-layered plywood case construction covered with a durable nylon canvas zippered cover with brass fittings and a spacious music pocket.
The zippered abrasion-resistant nylon cover has rain flaps to protect against rain and snow and helps to maintain constant humidity inside your case.
What makes this case comparable to the most prestigious European cases is the interior of the case, which offers luxurious English velvet paddings, a rope lid outline, and a quilted base.
What we love most about this case are the 2 spacious accessory pockets. You will not find a violin case with more spacious pockets than this case.
One of the pockets is large enough to fit a Bon Musica shoulder rest. And the other pocket is spacious enough to fit standard shoulder rests.
These cases are probably the most elegant-looking, protective and durable oblong cases you’ll find.

Polycarbonate shells are strong, durable, light, and temperature-resistant. They’re also used to make shatterproof glass!
Polycarbonate is almost as strong as carbon fiber, but much more affordable. Plus they’re more temperature-resistant compared to carbon fiber cases.
This case is also adjustable to fit 3/4 and full-size violins.
The case includes two removable backpack straps which make it highly portable and travel-friendly. It can also be carried using the main side handle or the subway handle at the top.
Each case comes with a silk blanket, a detachable accessory pouch for your small accessories, as well as a larger pocket for your music (for oblong cases only).
What we love the most about these Gewa Pure violin cases is the amount of protection and durability you get at an affordable price.
These are probably the most protective hardshell cases you will find at $250.

Stylish violin cases designed in France. Beautiful exterior shells. The Cabin violin cases are extremely popular among traveling violinists.
You also have the option to get the Bam violin hoodies to insulate your case even more during cold weather.
The Bam Hightech violin cases have been some of the most popular violin cases around the world because of their protection, durability, and stylish designs.
The case features Bam’s signature triple-ply structuring technique with ABS Airex and injected composite foam. Think of the shell as a sandwich with the 2 outer layers for protection, and an inner layer for insulation.
This technology makes the cases extremely strong, and better against heat penetration compared to carbon fiber cases.
It also has an airtight seal that controls the humidity within the case and prevents rainwater from seeping in.
The case offers suspension like no other with foam cushioning beneath a black plush interior covering.
There is a removable accessories pouch and comfortable neoprene backpack straps for ease of transport.
What we absolutely love about the Hightech violin cases are the exterior designs. No other brand has as many beautiful and stylish cases as Bam.

The Pedi cases are simple and functional cases. Perfect for musicians who are looking for a case that'll get the job done!
These oblong cases weigh only 5 lbs. But they can take a lot of pressure because of the steel shield technology on the top of the lid. Basically there are steel plates on the lid the most vulnerable parts of the case. So you can stand on the case!
The Pedi violin case also features retractable backpack straps. This makes the case much more comfortable to carry as a backpack compared to cases that only feature 2 shoulder straps that attach via D-rings. There's also a padded sheet music pouch on the backside.
The front of the case features reflective strips. So if you're walking with your case on your back at night, car lights will reflect off the case.
Overall this is a protective, durable, and functional violin case at an affordable price.
