I spent a long time looking around at cases I could afford. My previous case was very tight for bow storage and ultimately I chose this Rubato model because it was roomy for bow storage and seemed to give good protection for the violin. I also liked the rarer colour as most cases are quite dark. The quality exceeded my expectations. The outer material has a soft feel, less "plasticy" than I expected. The handle is also soft to the touch and comfortable to hold. The padding is good and the accessories box holds shoulder rest, mute, tuner and little bottle of cleaning liquid easily. There is a separate rosin box which is also appreciated! Straps are included to wear the case as a backpack.
Previously I had been looking at hard shell cases at twice the price. I'm so glad I chose the Rubato because I actually feel like it has given me much more storage than the "violin-shaped" hard shell cases I had considered.
Minus one star purely because the lock on the front clasp feels fine, but not super-strong. This isn't an issue for me but it may be for you.
