This mandolin case is a steal at this price. It is a well made wooden case that offers great protection and beautiful plush padding. Even the latches are decent. It even has an arched top! This compares equally to my TKL mandolin case that was over twice this price. You will be very happy with this case. It has an good handle and a nice accessory compartment that is big enough to place a humidifier. You get hardshell case protection at a gig bag price. What more could you ask for?

I was actually looking for a padded gig bag when I saw this , was even a little skeptical. When I received the case, I was glad I didn't get the gig bag. It is well constructed and fits the instrument well and will fit better the longer the instrument is in it. I'm very satisfied with this purchase!

I bought this to replace the piece of junk that came with my Michael Kelly Festival Pack - great mandolin, terrible (&smelly) case. I took a chance on this case, realizing because of the price that it probably would not be very good. I was wrong, this case is definitely the best deal out there for an f style hardshell. Nice buckles, tough exterior, heavily padded and squishy interior that doesn't shed, and it is not smelly! Buy now!
