Pros:
The case is sturdy, well built and attractive. The violin is a snug fit and the level of protection offered seems good.
Cons:
The side pocket is not big enough for the ABRSM grade music books without using the pocket "extension". The case doesn't come with a string protector as standard. The case lid doesn't want to stay open unsupported.
Other:
I bought this case for Christmas for my son who takes violin lessons at his school. Had I been aware that the side pocket size was too small for what we wanted to use it for, I would have looked harder for alternatives.
