Pedi Niteflash Superlite Pro Violin Case Blue

This is almost the perfect case. The shoulder rest compartment fits my Wolf primo forte, and the other compartment can fit my rosin, chalk, extra mute, etc. The music pouch at the back fits 8.5x11 prints just fine. The shoulder straps are comfortable, the design is compact, the bow holder spinners are fine. It is SO LIGHTWEIGHT.

My main issue is the size of the violin compartment. It's...snug. So much so that I thought it was a 3/4 size case at first. I asked everyone I know if they think it'll be unsafe, and the consensus is a skeptical "no, it should be fine". So I decided to keep it because I'm so happy with it generally, and my violin is suspended very well, at least. And the first thing I did was kneel on top of the lid and test how much weight it could take. I believe them when they say you could stand on this case.

The part where the tip of the bow sits is a bit too roomy, so my bow has a lot of room to bang around on the sides. I've taken to putting my cleaning cloth in that part so there's some padding.

Just a bit more room and this would be a 5 star case.

Very well made and protective, worth spending the additional cost of this mid priced case, purchased for air travel. Should do fine in overhead, and not scratch or show abrasion when stuffed in with heavy luggage, unlike the shiny composite cases. Regal plush/quilted interior with just enough room for rosin, cleaning cloth and non collapsing Kun shoulder rest. Comes with very securely fastened exterior music pouch that could carry items not able to fit inside the case. Supplied with a cloth sleeve for the violin (that isn't shown in the online description) that offers more protection than a conventional blanket. Violin fit is very snug and doesn't have neck block attachment adjustability- my violin back is 358mm and wouldn't fit this case if it were longer. Ordered the green case, and the color is nicer than I expected, closer to olive. Hope it's reasonably water resistant, and I've found a Pedi branded waterproof cover to purchase if needed.

This seemed to be the best I could find of the lightest weight, which was my priority. The removable music bag is too small for most of the music I play, and I think I'd be happier with the kind of storage that is permanent, just one layer of material that zips open. There is no way within the case to store my supply of strings. The case fits my current bow, but only if I store it with the hair ribbon facing down, which is not a big deal, but another quartet of an inch in length would have give more flexibility. Also, my chin rest is over-the-tailpiece, and a bit high for the restraint attached to the lid of the case. I wish I could just remove it, but it doesn't look like that can be done neatly. No shoulder strap. I'd have liked a little more storage space: tuning fork, rosin, sewing kit, (I don't use a shoulder pad, thankfully!) Sounds like a lot of complaints! But I'm glad to have the case. Due to the pandemic, I'm not using it much at all. I like the case enough to think that I will be able to adapt when I start running around again. I know I'll be happy about its weight!
