Shar
SL Super Light Hybrid Mobile Cello Case
REVIEW VIDEOS
A lightweight and feature-rich cello case at a mid-priced level! The sculpted high gloss shell is surprisingly strong, because we added 20% carbon fiber to its fiberglass backbone, increasing strength, yet keeping it light. Smoothly rolling wheels are a great help at the airport or in hallways at music school. Easy to use latches flip out of the way when opening with just the touch of your thumb. Inside, elegant dark gray lining coordinates perfectly with the shell and trim. Firm suspension padding with soft retention pads, clip-style neck and scroll restraints, magnetic closure on the soft cloth bow holders, and an extra large accessory pocket in the top to hold a set of strings and rosin. We've even included a small internal pocket to hold one or two sheet music titles. Backpacking straps and pull handle included. Fits most cello patterns except Montagnana. 4/4 size. Only 7.85 lbs!

The case itself is nice.
The biggest problem is the latches. If you are not careful closing them, the little piece of metal that actually holds the case close will bend and stop working. This really needs to be updated as well as having a method to fix the existing cases.

For me the case seems to have too little padding. I plan to return it.
SL Super Light Hybrid Mobile Cello Case
This is my second Super Light cello case, and I've been quite happy with the first one. In appr. 5 years time, the clasps haven't fallen apart, the seals are still good, the strap holding the cello has not frayed. The "backback" straps are also well designed and comfortable. It's quite light but protects the cello well. Negatives? 1) There is no padding behind the fingerboard, where the cello is attached. I solved this by fitting a piece of padding wedged in the neck of the case. It works well. Without this, I believe the cello would be susceptible to the neck snapping if the case was impacted or fell over. 2) I don't like the wheels. They're too small, and make the case more unstable when the case is upright. I duct tape them over to take care of that. No case is perfect, and this is quite a good one for the money.
