Protec MX044FX 4/4 Violin Shaped MAX Case, Fuchsia

I bought this for my 10 year old about a year ago to replace the heavy, hard-sided one that her rental instrument came in. She needed something that was easier for her carry while walking to and from school: lightweight, but sturdy and protective. She was also new to the instrument and I didn't want to invest a lot of money on something I wasn't sure she would stick with. This case fit all the requirements. It is incredibly light, but keeps the violin well protected, and is reasonably priced. The bright color is an added bonus that my daughter loves. There isn't a lot of storage inside, but enough to hold what she needs for her lessons at school - really just rosin and a cloth. There are two front pockets where she stores her shoulder rest and lesson book. After a year's use, the zippers and velcro are still in good working condition and the case still looks great. She gets a lot of compliments on it!

This is a wonderful product for the price. I have purchased 1 for each of my kids. Durable and colorful:)

I recently purchased a $4,000 hand made violin and needed a sturdy protective case. I purchased the oblong case (not the violin shaped case) and it came within a few days. I've only had this case a few weeks. The case was impressive from the start. The exterior seems to be made of a strong material that doesn't seem like it would tear easily and should be easy to wipe down if needed. The interior has strong sides with good padding which made me feel confident that it would offer very good protection from bumps and falls. The clip that holds the bows are anchored securely and have a good strong feel to them. The strap that holds the violin inside the case also has a strong feel to it and keeps the instrument very secure. I have a full size violin and it sits snuggly inside (no wiggle room). The inside compartment has enough room for my shoulder rest, rosin and tuner. The outside of the case has a full length zippered pocket so I can put my music books and other items in it. I asked my violin teacher to look at the case as I wanted his opinion on whether this case would protect my instrument. After all, when you spend $4,000 on an instrument, you want to keep it safe! I am happy to report that he gave it high praises. I take my violin to lessons, church and other places so I feel confident that the case will protect the instrument. Although I don't need all of the different straps, it's nice to have the shoulder strap so my hands are free to carry other things. The case has a handle on the end so you can pick it up and stand it on its end. I really love the color (fuscia) because it's different from most cases. Of course the price is very reasonable which is another good feature. The only thing I would change is that the handles to carry it around are clothe and it comes with a Velcro strap to keep them together. I would prefer a plastic handle (one) instead of 2 clothe handles but this is not a deal breaker for me. I would highly recommend this case.

I'll start by saying that I consider myself an advanced violin player. My old case was literally falling apart, and I began my case searches here on Amazon. A lot of the cases seemed extremely overpriced, while this Protec case seemed fairly reasonable. The tag "student" violin case should be considered a misnomer. As a lower-level professional, I consider this case just fine. Here were my concerns at the time of purchasing:Is my bow going to fit in without it spreading rosin all over the inside of my case?Yes. Through some clever design, the bow is lifted so that the hair of the bow does not come into contact with the case. There are no rosin issues.Will it be able to fit all of my accessories/sheet music?Sort of. There is a small compartment on the inside that has enough room for rosin, a cleaning towel, and a tuning fork. However, there is no inside compartment large enough for a shoulder rest. For some violinists, beginners particularly, a sponge will fit just fine below the neck of the violin within the case. For others, the shoulder rest must go in awkwardly into the larger bag-pouch up front. I also store in there an electric tuner and electric metronome. There is no conceivable pouch to hold music books or sheet music. This part, I don't mind much, as I think it'd be better to keep the music in a separate bag anyways.And, most importantly, how much does it actually protect my instrument?Unfortunately, not very much. For those that have instruments over $5000, I would have to recommend they find some other case. I have a violin below that number, and I still consider this an effective insurance against basic forms of damage. The case is very solid. Almost certainly, if I drop the case or accidentally hit it against something, I feel confident my instrument would not come to harm. The case seems sturdy and well-built. I would be comfortable using the shoulder-straps of the case and ride on my bike with no fear of the case tumbling out of my control. It seems improbable that the case would open up on its own and the violin dropping onto the floor.Like I said, the case is well designed for basic safety needs. However, this case will probably not be able to withstand an adult accidentally stepping on the case (although for children, I am fairly confident the case would still be fine). Obviously, other freak forms of damage such as flooding, fire, or tornado, would be outside of the intention of the case's design.Some nice features that I was happy to discover once I've gotten the case is probably a good summary of why I like it so much. The outside (handles, rings for shoulder strap or backpack harnesses, pouches, zipper, multitudes of velcro safety measures) all provide a solid feel of comfort, both on carrying and on conscience. The inside does leave a little bit to be desired for, but I have learned to improvise around it.For $50, the case gives me the protection that I desired and then some. Hope it does for you too.

This case is lightweight. Great quality and protective.

The media could not be loaded. Très bon produit . Étuis solide et de bonne qualité . Pas mal de rangement et le petit recoin pour mettre la colofane est très pratique ! Tester sous la pluie et il tiens ses promesse l’eau n’est pas rentré dedans ! À voir dans le temps . Que la musique continue 🤗

Overall quality is good. Violin fits perfectly. There’s a strap around the neck to keep it secure. Pocket in the front is a good size. The color is true to the picture (I ordered teal)

Práctico, cómo, elegante y sumamente sólido.Un estuche de violín diferente a la oleada cósmica de negros que pululan en el medio de las 4 cuerdas mayores y el arco.Con diversos compartimientos para notas y apuntes al exterior y uno en el interior para resinas, afinadores; no se diga el amplio espacio para el cojín que permite incluso guardarlo con las patitas puestas.Incluye sus dos correas para llevarlo como mochila a la espalda, así como unos arneses laterales para llevarlo como maletín al hombro. Una cortesía amena y bien recibida fue que un protector negro para ponerle encima al violín que se incluye sin costo extra.Me gusta el detalle de tener una agarradera en el extremo superior que te permite cargarlo... estando el estuche de forma vertical, ¡gran detalle! No saben cuántas veces le he transportado así dentro de casa.Tiene igualmente unas costuras muy firmes y plásticos antiderrapantes (?) en el eje inferior así como en los laterales para que no se corra tan fácil estando en el piso.*CONCLUSIONES GENERALES*Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra y la recomiendo ampliamente. No sobra decir que Amazon, como siempre, supera mis expectativas en el transporte. Llegó en menos tiempo del esperado y como me costó más de 600 pesos, calificó para envío gratuito dentro de la República mexicana.De lejos, el mejor estuche para principiantes [que ojo, sirve también para violinistas más avanzados] que hallarás en el mercado digital con el mejor precio. El personal de Amazon México hizo bien de traerlo a nuestras tierras, es un producto fenomenal <3

The quality of this case was better than I expected, especially when compared to other cases in this price range. It is very light, which can be oh so important when walking to the train or the like. Having a tired hand and arm from carrying a heavy case right before you have to play, is frustrating. The violin is well suspended in the case, the scroll does not rest on the bottom of the case. This is a styrofoam case which is excellent at protecting the instrument from sudden temperature changes, such as going from a heated room to outside in sub freezing weather, BUT a Styrofoam case is NOT as good at protecting the instrument from impact ( eg. people sitting on a case or stepping on it) . If used by a sober adult I would think that this case would be plenty strong enough. The colour is good. Although Protec is a Korean company, I have seen some information intimating that the case is actually made in China. The outside dimension's of this case are larger than some other cases, and that can be a consideration when negotiating overhead compartment space on an airplane.
