Mandolin Hard Case, F-Style Mandolin Case, Crocodile Pattern Leather Bulge Surface with Plush Interior Wooden Case (Black)

Bought this for an Eastman MD-305 A-style mandolin. Buying an instrument case sight-unseen online, not being able to try it out with your instrument first, is always a gamble. This arrived just today and, even with a ToneGard on the back of the Eastman, is a perfect fit. Construction seems solid with no misaligned joints; padding seems plush enough; finish is nice with no blemishes. Letting it sit open for a few hours helped to dissipate the stinky "new" smell. I wouldn't necessarily use this for a more expensive, pro-grade instrument, but for occasional trips to local jams and storing my mando at home, this case is well worth the price. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Awesome mandolin, very good

Meets all expectations...thank you!

I love the alligator texture and the red stitching. Cute little case, and does it's job

This case is very well made and attractive. I can't wait to give it as a gift!

The case is sturdy and does the job it's made for. The outside looks a bit like a tire though. I think it's supposed to be faux crocodile skin or something, but it's very rubbery looking, and the "scales" are large, so they look more like tire tread. I would have preferred a smoother surface or the plastic pebbled texture that is common on wind instrument cases.

This is a nice compact strong case. It closes smartly. Is resistant to thumps and bangs. But I wish it had a way to hold my thin instruction book.

Got it a few weeks ago and so far so good. Seems like a solid case and fits my f style mando well.

My mando is a custom built, and the body is a bit wider than standard. This is the only affordable case that was wide enough to accommodate it. I had ordered another one that I had to return because it didn't fit.
