I own two of these... affordable, safe protection

I bought two cases, one for both of my instruments, as I find the shipping storage bag from Kala only useful as a dust jacket.

These are beefy enough to protect your instrument safely, while still being very affordable for a hard case. If you travel with your instrument (planes, camping, to friends houses!), then you would do well upgrading to a better case.

Pros:

-very protective

-lightweight

-plush interior keeps your baby safe from scratches or dings; moveable neck pad 'locks' instrument in place so it doesn't jiggle or bump

-substantial box inside to hold picks, capo, tuner, extra strings, or what have you

-double sided zipper makes it fast and easy to open the woven nylon cover on the outside of the case, allowing access to the padded inside

-comfortable, molded hand grip for side carrying

-two adjustable and removable straps for shoulder carrying or wearing backpack style

-strap rings allow the straps to be worn on the side or on the back of the case

-protective cover flap that velcroes over the zipper pulls on the outside cover to keep them from sliding

-good sized outside pocket that zips. On the soprano size, it can hold sheet music and is *just* big enough to squeeze in a standard size music book (8.5" x 11"). On the tenor size it's plenty big enough to hold several music books (handles things up to 9.5" x 11.5").

Cons:

-Not waterproof *

-no plastic or rubber 'feet' on the bottom of the case, so it sits directly on the floor or table, making it more likely…

Better than a "gig bag"

The time is long since past when no reputable dealer would think of selling you any musical instrument worth more than $50 without also including a case. And these days the least expensive default is the infamous "gig bag" which, honestly, offers little more protection for you axe than keeping the dust off of it. I usually buy hard-shell cases for my instruments, but every now and then you run into an odd instrument which will just not fit in a generic case, and for which a custom case might well cost more than the instrument.

Two examples are the Luna Bass Ukulele, and the Kala U-Bass. Both instruments are built around a modified baritone ukulele body, but sport wide "ears" in the form of over-sized bass tuning pegs. There is a rectangular hardshell available for the U-Bass, but it's espensive, too big, and heavy. And, due to the big tuners, neither of these instruments will fit in a conventional bari-uke case.

Which leaves only the dreaded "gig bag" --

-- or this "Foam Hardcase".

This is a great case option for baritone uke, AND it also fits the Luna Bass, or the Kala U-Bass.

Not as sturdy as vinyl-covered plywood, to be sure, but WAY better than a zippered canvas sack.

If somebody accidentally kicks this case, or drops a beer on it, it's not doing to destroy your instrument -- which is really the point of any case.

Well made; compact; reasonably solid; light-weight; and reasonably priced.

If you own any of the funky oddball instruments mentioned,…

Perfect case!

This is the perfect case for my Kala Makala Baritone ukulele. It’s strong and lightweight, and I like the zipper better than clasps. I’m really glad I purchased this one.

Protection is a must

This case does a fantastic job of keeping my ukulele safe & snug inside. It’s lined with a soft material to avoid scratching the instrument, has a small compartment inside (I store the tuner there), has a zippered pocket on the outside, sturdy carry handle, and removeable shoulder strap.
