Pedi NiteFlash Oblong Violin Case Olive

The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the big compartment (there are 1 big and 2 small compartments in this case) is a little small. I have to squeeze in my KUN shoulder rest. Still fits in but I wish it was half inch bigger.

My daughter loved this violin case. It is lightweight but has compartments for everything she needs. The handles are very comfortable to carry, and the straps are great too. She had many cases over the years, but this one she is really excited about it.

The "Great Violin Cases" company folks were great to deal with. Fast and reliable, good prices too. The case is very nice. Very strong for how light it is. I have one issue with it. The external case pocket, which is quite large and capable of holding a lot of stuff, is located on the side of the case with the backpack straps. Thus, is you have anything hard, lumpy or pointy in that pocket, it is NOT comfortable to wear on your back. All you can reasonably put in it, if you plan to wear it on your back, is a bit sheet music. I imagine that is all it was intended for, but it's capable of so much more if it was on the other side of the case.

When we were shopping for an affordable good case, the teacher gave a few requirements, suspended protection, light weight, and double shoulder stripes. This is the case we can find with all features required by teacher which also weights the least. There are a few more things we liked about it, affordable, regular shape (stable, and with big pockets for accessories and music notes), and it comes in a nice color (easy to spot)! The teacher approved it as "a nice case"!

It’s very rare I write online reviews. I had been looking for an oblong backpack style case, something to easily transport my fiddle on an airplane. I also wanted a large pocket for music. This case is nearly perfect. Plenty of room for rosin, mute and shoulder rest in the case. Fiddle fakebook plus sheet music, wallet and phone fit in the outside pocket. For reference, I’m 5’3”, ~107 lbs and this case is not too large or heavy. I’m not transporting a high-end instrument, but the case seems sturdy and well-padded for my prized fiddle. Delivery was quick and seamless.
