Does anyone have any recommendations for a soft-case for a 3/4 size cello that has decent padding?

I believe their are some cases called 'Ritter' and 'Gig Bag'. They are heavy duty, thick padded, sturdy cases with back-pack straps, music pockets etc.

Caswells (now in Northamptonshire) and JPB Music (staff formerly of Caswells when they were in Bristol), sell these cases by mail order. They are around the £90 to £100 mark.

I'm sure string dealers elsewhere in the country sell them though.
