Is a display case only for violins that are not being played? Would it be protected enough by humidity and ok for being opened and closed regularly?

No protection from humidity, but it could be opened and closed frequently without problem.

On the outside there is a place to slip some sheet music into. Its a bit exposed, but works well. BTW I love the case and get lots of compliments.

I would send the violin back to where you purchased it. I bought my daughter and myself one and neither one of the violins smells bad. The violins should have a warrenty. I would not play it call the company and get a RMA for the violin and get another.

I haven't had much of an issue with it myself, though I mainly use it for shorter trips to practice. There's space on either side of the tuners, so they're not directly contacting the case itself.

I would say this safe is definitely right! There are guides for hanging file folders which could accommodate your music. It's waterproof so there's no worry about your papers being damaged from the outside. The safe comes with a dehumidifier pack to keep moisture away, so there's no damage from the inside. I have been very pleased with this purchase and believe it would serve you well.

Yes the instrument is made of plywood and has a matte-like finish, and the instrument is very light (while inside the carrying case), but it sounds and look good if that helps. I am a sax player and just learning how to play the violin so my view may or may not help you.

My Jambox sits on a shelf in my UPS truck and is in the heat all day. Doesn't get scratched or anything. Didn't know that there were cases for them. I have the big one, not the mini. The mini is only good for indoors.

No problem however the case is positioned. This is probably the best humidifier for guitars. Very simple, neat and clean, and also balanced. The only possible down side is that the replacement packs are relatively expensive, given that they only last two months or so (maybe slightly longer under certain conditions).

It is a hard case. Very useful when you are carrying it around. Good for humidity control (which is good for the wood)

There should be no problem with the guitar in any position, as long as the sponge isn't over-soaked with water running out of the plastic case. After putting the humidifier lid on, you just slide the narrow part between the 2 center strings all the way down to the lip/lid of the humidifier. There are small "bumps" on the sides, slide it in until the strings pass over them, and the string tension will hold it in place with the guitar in any position. I'm not sure how effective it would be if the guitar isn't in a closed case or gig bag; the moisture would just dissipate into the air and likely do nothing at all for the guitar.

Yes, it's a very firm foam, including the interior. There is a cheap velvet covering in the interior and really does nothing to cushion your violin. Better quality cases, even some I've owned at this price point, have had a softer padding that contacts the violin. I won't use it for extended use due to fear of getting rub spots or damage from dropping. I actually believe other reviewers got a different case than what I received based on their glowing reviews while my opinion is its a cheaply made case that poorly protects the violin and won't even take a standard 4/4 bow without forcing in place. Bad case in my opinion. Yes, it's a very firm foam, including the interior. There is a cheap velvet covering in the interior and really does nothing to cushion your violin.

The humidipak just rests in the guitar case, not in the instrument itself so it should be ideal for your Ovavtion. I use this for a lute which has a rosette (no open sound hole) and it works great.

This item is intended for indoor use. I would expect it to deteriorate quickly in a humid environment.

While the materials that comprise this box (powder-coated steel case, nylon coated steel cable, removable foam liner) may be able to withstand immersion or saturation in water for short periods without damage, any contents sensitive to moisture would be compromised. Water would simply run in through the sides of the box as well as the hole where the anchor cable attaches. I suspect the hinge and lock would likewise not last long in a damp/wet environment unless they were periodically treated and lubricated. You might want to look at Pelican cases - they are waterproof and have lock attachment points. I'm sure a cable could be added to secure it to a fixture.

Yes, there's a little manner too keep it closed. I was very pleased with this case. Only 2 bad things 1) you cannot charge the case closed & 2) no options when standing it on the easel, it only has one position which is too straight. But i can live with these due to the "price" :-)
