Which Hidersine violin case should I choose: oblong or shaped?
Published · Last updated

Choose the Hidersine Super Light Shaped Violin Case if you prefer a shaped outline, or the Super Light Oblong Violin Case if you prefer an oblong format. The supplied details don’t establish differences in protection, storage or actual weight.
The Hidersine Super Light Shaped Violin Case has a best new price of £98 in the supplied listings, compared with £119 for the Super Light Oblong Violin Case. That makes the shaped option £21 cheaper if cost is your deciding factor.
Don’t assume that “Super Light” means both cases weigh the same, or that the oblong version necessarily offers more usable storage. Neither listing gives weights, internal dimensions or compartment details.
Before choosing, check the fit for your violin, bow storage and carrying arrangements. For a case you’ll carry to rehearsals regularly, those practical details matter more than the outline alone.
