I totally recommend this case. I've had it for over 4 years, and it has lasted so incredibly well. There are a few dings here and there, but I've flown all over the country with it and it has been my life saver. A word of caution - if you have a large shoulder rest (Bon Musica especially) it will NOT fit. I put my kun-shaped shoulder rest up by the neck and nestle it in there. It doesn't cause any damage to the instrument, but I also cover my violin every time I put it in the case.
