Gewa Bio Violincase 4/4 GY MP/SH 3-stars Reviews

Gewa's most basic violin case

I bought this case a month ago, attracted by its low price (considering it's Gewa) and the sleek look. However, after I got it, some of its features didn't match my expectations: first, the handle on the side is very loose, therefore if you are carrying it on your back with the straps, at every step you take, the handle bangs against the case. Second, the lid fits tightly onto the bottom side, meaning that you need to apply some pressure to separate both halves and therefore open it (I understand that some people will not consider this a disadvantage but a safety feature, as if you leave the two locks unfastened by mistake and lift the case, it won't open). Finally, the back straps have a single anchoring point at the top, making it slightly unstable when carrying on the back (although that is common in some other brands and models). Straps themselves are also quite thin and not padded.

On the plus side, the violin fits very well inside, it doesn't move. The case itself is very hard as well, despite being made of organically grown fibres. The accessories compartment inside is not huge, but just about fits a shoulder rest (Kun Original in my case).
