The Folkcraft dulcimer carrying case is perfect for what I was seeking. It arrived very quickly (thank you, Fokcraft!) and was ready for carrying to my second lesson. I'm a beginner player, and may ultimately acquire a better dulcimer. So not yet ready to commit to a specifically-shaped or harder case. This case works very well for protecting the dulcimer during storage and transit to lessons and very convenient to throw over the shoulder since free hands are needed for managing the music bag, portable chair and music stand..... I learned at my first jam that others appreciate this case as well, so the embroidered personalization with my name was a good choice! The case is made well, with light padding and multiple D-rings, and has a large, divided pocket on the front that is perfect for dulcimer strap, capo, and picks, with lots of room to spare.
