That is why the case only weighs 5 lb. Pedi Oblong Violin Case Review Video A Violin Case With Backpack Straps Unlike most violin cases, the Pedi case features actual backpack straps, instead of shoulder straps that you attach via D-rings. This makes the case much more comfortable to carry. The backpack straps, along with the back of the case features breathable mesh paddings. And the space between the straps is shoulder width. Many violin cases feature a V-strap design that is secured by D-rings. What that means though, is that you've got D-rings dangling right behind your neck. And if you've got wider shoulders, the V-strap design may feel tight along the back of your shoulders. The straps are also retractable. So you can easily put them away, if you don't want the straps dangling around. Night Stripes Violin Case Makes it Safer to Walk at Night Have you ever seen a violin case with reflective stripes?
