The 10 Best Cello Cases of 2023

Top Picks

• Best Overall: Crossrock CRA860CEFBK ABS Molded Cello Case  

The case's exterior is made of a high-quality ABS material, making it nearly indestructible. Indeed, it's sturdy enough for walking and standing. The high level of stability of the case is maintained by seven metal latches, two metal hinges, and two sturdy molded handles. The inside of this cello case is lined with velvet, and the outside is padded with soft foam for maximum protection—modular design with an interior foam insert, bow holders, and accessory pouch that can be detached. There are three reinforced D-rings on the reverse, and the backpack straps are made of deluxe fabric and metal hardware.

•  Best with Dense Foam: Crossrock Lightweight Cello Case 

If you play a 4/4 cello and need a case for normal storage or short-distance travel, consider the Cross Rock CRP200CEF. It offers the lightest and strongest protection at a price that's hard to beat. This case's arched top, polystyrene core, full suspension top, and Jacquard bicolor material exterior covered provide superior strength to protect your instrument. The padded backpack straps are easily removed and adjustable, and the padded carry handle is made of reinforced dual webbing.

•  Best for 4/4 Size Cello: Crossrock Poly Carbon Composite Case 

The leather cover for the cello's neck is easily adjustable and comes standard with the buckle. The back pocket can be removed to accommodate a music sheet. Since it is padded with dense EVA foam, this stowaway pouch can double as a cushy backpack pillow. The bag has two sturdy carrying rings on either side and a D-ring that has been double-hocked for added security when used as a backpack. The case's smooth mobility is ensured by the four wheels bolted to its base.

•  Best Design: Crossrock 4/4 Cello Case 

A piece of velvet is included with the sturdy, adjustable buckle to shield the cello's neck. The comfort-padded shoulder straps of the backpack have built-in Carabiner clips for added security. The backpack system is more secure thanks to the 2 D-ring design. Bows are safer in their zippered pocket holders because of this. Meanwhile, your cello will remain securely inside the case thanks to the shorter zipper puller's design.

•  Best High-Quality: Crossrock ABS Molded Cello Case CRA861CEF-BK 

The adjustable pads allow you to customize the case to the precise shape of your instrument. It will be reworked so it can be played on a cello that's just 3/4 the size. The two handles provide versatility in carrying and compactly fold away for storage. Each of the metal parts—the puller and the base plate—is very durable.
