Pros: Good value, lightweight, compact. Has shoulder straps to use as backpack. Good fit for 16.5 back instrument.
Cons: Not much room for accessories - can just fit Kuhn shoulder rest alongside viola pegbox. Case lid wouldn't stay open because of restraining tape but appears OK now I have cut through the tape. Would be nice if case stayed flat when instrument removed, but not a show-stopper given the price.
Other: Has yet to be tested by extensive use. Only 2 bow holders (but who needs more?)

Pros: The important thing for me was that the case was light which it certainly is. It is also well upholstered with ties for the viola and the shoulder rest.
Cons: The main downside is the lack of space for rosin, strings, mute etc - very cramped. Also my bows just fit in.
