Very unhappy with this case. First, the strap for holding the bow inside the case broke and had to be brought to a cobbler to repair (who made a fantastic job of the repair). Then the plastic strip around the edge of the case got damaged because the two halves of the case can't be closed easily. The basic problem is that it's too flimsy. It takes about 3 people to hold the case in perfect alignment while the clips are locked in place. Now the case isn't watertight, and is letting water in. My daughter threw it aside this morning and went back to her old, reliable Thomann soft case. It was her christmas present this year, and it's been cast aside after only being used twice. My advice is buy an expensive case if you have an expensive instrument, or buy one of the more upmarket soft cases for cheaper instruments!
