I need to find a lightweight, shaped violin case to transport Hamish in when I go back for lessons that would be suitable for a regular long journey via bus/train. It needs to have a neck strap for extra security as Hamish is very narrow. Unfortunately my budget is very limited and I can't go over 100 pounds which I realise is not going to get me anything special but if anyone has any suggestions of suitable cases in that range it would be much appreciated.

I do like the look of the Gewa cases but I've discounted them because the ones in my budget don't have a neck strap. If I was buying a case for my other violin then I'd definitely go for the Gewa but Hamish is very narrow in the shoulder so a neck strap would be a must. I don't mind an oblong case but was thinking that a shaped case would be easier to carry about as the journey I have to do involves a lot of bus/train changes. I'll definitely have a look at the "Young Korean" cases and the Concord ones but all advice is much appreciated.
