Crossrock CRA400VFSL 4/4 Full Size Violin Case, Zippered ABS Molded Backpack Style in Silver

The cost. About $300 less than other brands but still has all the features I need. Room for two bows. Lightweight... Looks good, too.

Cons:Warning! The lock is so easy to mess up! I set a password and it was just fine. But all of the sudden I wanted to play violin and my violin didn’t work!😡 Not the best lock system.I was kind of disappointed to find that it didn’t have the same color in the inside ( red velvet) as the picture, but black looks good too.I have 3 violins and the first violin I tried had a very tight fit to the point I thought it would untune my violin! Then I tried putting my other violin and it fit. The storage unit box is pretty big, it is kind of a tight fit for my shoulder rest.Pros:I do like the bow holders. I think they’re pretty decent. At first, I was a little disappointed, but I think this case is growing on me. The inside of the case is really soft! The lock is awesome! It’s pretty cool! I do like the outside of the case. It is really sturdy and I feel safer when it rains. Overall, it’s not a bad case. It’s a pretty good deal!

Pros:- It is very light and does not put a restraint on your hand, wrist, or arm.- Designed very tight to hold the violin intact even the bridge has its own holding area.Cons:- Not enough room to carry sheet music or store some tall shoulder rests in the box,- Not designed for electric violins such as Yamaha's silent violin s pre-Amps, shoulder rest, and other accessories.- Not designed for electric or acoustic 5 strings violins at all.

Case is very functional, but I wish it had a small strap across the neck of the violin as added security to keep the violin from falling out. But that being said, my violin fits in the case padding very snugly, so it is unlikely to fall out, but a strap would be nice for added security. It has a large compartment for my chin rest. Only other small complaint is that when the lid is open, the case tips backward, which makes it somewhat awkward to work in, but that is not a deal breaker. Overall, a very nice case for the price and I would buy it again. As a matter of fact I did...I also bought it in black for my other violin.

Zippers are a bit time consuming to lose & open.When I lay it down to open, the back straps get in the way and I can’t place the case flat to unzip.
