here is the flute if you think it is a good choice of a new flute case, because my flute case is almost broken.

Answer 1

Note that only the frame of that case is aluminum - the rest is "we don't know what". For $16 it's worth a try to see if you like it.

Many of us have an all aluminum case for traveling - they are very sturdy. My preference though is for my wooden case since my flute rarely leaves me when traveling and gigging.

Answer 2

Yes ! Aluminum is a sturdy material !
Depends on thickness also.
Aircraft is made of Aluminum as its light weight and Sturdy !
