Does anyone have any experience of the 'Young' violin cases?

link here

I'm looking for a shaped case for a full-size violin. I need a decent music pocket and rucksack straps plus an ordinary carry handle. Space for a Kuhn shoulder rest would be ideal. I need to case to be weather-proof enough for a 30+ minute walk in heavy rain (without ending up with a wet inside or soggy music). Price limit ideally ?80 including postage - could maybe stretch to ?100 if I really skimp on food for the next few weeks, but that would be the absolute, absolute maximum (so please don't point me to the Gewa cases, which are beyond my limit). It needs to be a shaped case because I'm finding that my current oblong one is totally impracticle on crowded busses and I need something which I can sit upright on my lap or squeeze in front of my legs.

I very much like the better shaped styrofoam case from Barnes and Mullins - it has a strap inside for your shoulder rest and it will be around ?50

it is very much nicer than it looks here.
