Top 6 Violin Case Reviews

In this article, we’re doing an in-depth review of 6 top selling violin cases, and why

they are the top selling cases!

For each review, we’ve included a scorecard of the different features. These

include weight, protection, durability, temperature resistance, and functionality.

Functionality can include nicer locks, more spacious sheet music pocket, space for

shoulder rest, removable accessories pouch, etc.

Keep in mind though, functionality is really based on personal preference. For a

violinist that does not use a shoulder rest, having ample space for one in the case

may not be necessary.

We also highly recommend watching the videos of each case. Pictures are

awesome, but videos give you a much better understanding of how these cases

work.

6 Top-Selling Violin Cases

 Gewa Air Violin Cases

Let's start with this modern lightweight case from the Gewa Air Series. This case uses Gewa's

specially developed energy-absorbing thermoplastic shell technology which makes it

excellent for protection and insulation against cold and heat.

It also has 2 detachable neoprene backpack straps so you can easily carry it as a backpack

while traveling.

The interior features a suspension system with black interior velour padding. And patented

swivel type bow holders that click into place, which is great for keeping your bows in place.

It also has a detachable and roomy accessories pouch and an instrument blanket for extra

protection.

The feature that we love most about this case are the adjustable velcro rings. Since the bottom

of the case is velcro-friendly, you can move those rings into any position, so that you can

accommodate shoulder rests of any size.

Bobelock Corregidor Violin Cases

Beautiful wooden case. Beautiful interior. Spacious pockets. Temperature-resistant wooden

shells. If you are looking for an oblong violin case that combines character and

craftsmanship at a relatively lower cost, then this product will be the right one for you!

These wooden luxury violin cases are built using a five-layered plywood case construction

covered with a durable nylon canvas zippered cover with brass fittings and a spacious music

pocket. The zippered abrasion-resistant nylon cover has rain flaps to protect against rain and

snow and helps to maintain constant humidity inside your case.

What makes this case comparable to the most prestigious European cases is the interior of the

case, which offers up luxurious English velvet paddings, a rope lid outline, and a quilted base.

What we love most about this case are the 2 spacious accessories pockets. You will not find a

violin case with more spacious pockets than this case.

One of the pockets is large enough to fit a Bon Musica shoulder rest. And the other pocket is

spacious enough to fit standard shoulder rests.

These cases are probably the most elegant-looking, protective and durable oblong cases

you’ll find under $300.

Gewa Pure Violin Cases

Polycarbonate shells are strong, durable, light, and temperature-resistant. They’re also used

to make shatterproof glass!

Polycarbonate is almost as strong as carbon fiber, but much more affordable. Plus they’re more

temperature-resistant compared to carbon fiber cases.

This case is also adjustable to fit 3/4 and full size violins.

The case includes two removable backpack straps which makes it highly portable and travel-

friendly. It can also be carried using the main side handle or the subway handle at the top.

Each case comes with a silk blanket, a detachable accessory pouch for your small accessories,

as well as a larger pocket for your music (for oblong cases only).

What we love the most about these Gewa Pure violin cases is the amount of protection and

durability you get at an affordable price.

These are probably the most protective hardshell cases you will find at $250.
Bam Hightech Violin Cases

Stylish violin cases designed in France. Beautiful exterior shells. The Cabin violin cases are

extremely popular among traveling violinists. You also have the option to get the Bam violin

hoodies to insulate your case even more during cold weather.

The Bam Hightech violin cases have been some of the most popular violin cases around the

world because of their protection, durability, and stylish designs. The case features Bam’s

signature triple-ply structuring technique with ABS Airex and injected composite foam. Think of

the shell as a sandwich with the 2 outer layers for protection, and inner layer for insulation.

This technology makes the cases extremely strong, and better against heat

penetration compared to carbon fiber cases. It also has an airtight seal that controls the

humidity within the case and prevents rain water from seeping in.

The case offers suspension like no other with foam cushioning beneath a black plush interior

covering. There is a removable accessories pouch and comfortable neoprene backpack straps

for ease of transport.

What we absolutely love about the Hightech violin cases are the exterior designs. No other

brand has as many beautiful and stylish cases as Bam.

Tonareli Cello-Shaped Violin Cases

Lots of colors to choose from. Very popular among students. Adjustable to fit 3/4 and full size

violins.

These stylish and affordable cases look like a mini shaped cello cases.  

They feature adjustable cushions secured to the case by velcro pads to accommodate both

full size and 3/4 size violins.

The exterior features glossy-finish fiberglass shells that will surely make your case stand out!

These cases also feature airtight seals so that your instrument is protected from inclement

weather.

The interior features two swivel bow holders, an accessories pouch, and an instrument blanket.

What we love most about these cases is the enormous selection of exterior colors. Which is

why they’ve been so popular among student violinists for years.

Super Light Contoured Violin Cases

Extremely light cases. Made in Japan. Quality craftsmanship. Rainproof zippers. One of the very

few contoured cases with sheet music pouch.

The brand name says it all! This case is built with a thick, but extremely light and durable foam

core which is great for shock absorption & thermal insulation.

The interior features black fabric with three bow holders, a blanket, neck strap, single

accessory pocket, and sturdy suspension system.

The exterior canvas is made of a special woven rainproof fabric, high quality YKK Aqua Guard

zippers, and locks made by Amiet of Switzerland.

Along with all that comes a subway strap, leather handle, custom backpack straps for ease and

comfort, and exterior sheet music pocket that can accommodate large size sheet music.

What we love about this case is obviously the weight. Only 3.3 lb. It really doesn’t get lighter

than this. Plus you’re not sacrificing protection or durability.
