A solid, good-value Chinese case
I bought this case to carry my ~EUR 3000 cello on my bicycle, since my previous case didn't have backpack straps. I wanted something sturdy, light, and inexpensive, and I find this Chinese case to be a good balance.
It looks great on the outside, and the straps seem strong. The weight is a bit heavier than the item description says, 5.8 kg rather than 5.18 kg. I am able to apply enough pressure to the outside to bend the front of the case, so don't rely on this alone for air travel. It's a little awkward to align the clasps when closing, but that wasn't something I was concerned about. The accessory pouch is flimsy and held on with velcro to the padding. I might worry about it coming loose and a rock stop inside shaking around causing damage. The main reason this case doesn't get five stars is that the bow holders don't completely cover the frogs, so there's a chance of them scratching the cello.
