WOW.Really, I was wow'd by a sax case.I've had a Selmer SuperAction Series II since high school, and now after playing professionally for 10 years, it was time for a new case. I saw a lot of leather cases that looked fancy, but I wanted something that would protect my sax, look reasonably good, but also be light to carry on a gig. I mean, I've put about $800 of maintenance into this sax, not counting the purchase price.I got this case based on most reviews, and price, and WOW. It is LIGHT. Surprisingly light. I had a leather soft case before this, and this case is lighter, and protects better. I love the finish, and the contouring.The one drawback is there isn't a lot of room for reed boxes... I like to keep one box each of 2.5, 3, and 3.5 hardness reeds, and there really isn't room for that. I made it work by removing the reeds from the boxes and putting them into the provided bag to store in the bell. it worked, but.... Now I have to dig to find the hardness I want. Would have been 5 stars with a bit more storage.

Great PRO ABS case for the money .. The case has black velveteen material as a liner .. There is a special dedicated pocket inside the case for the neck piece, The case didn't come with a carry strap although the case is fitted with two d rings for a carry strap to be attached if needed, the case came with a nice little bag for possible storage of items in the bell of the Sax if you want to go that route, sadly no other space inside this case, so mouthpiece & reeds have to stored in either the out side pocket or the bag provided, inside the bell .. Strong catches of which one has a small padlock hole so the case can be locked. There is also a handy external pocket for small score or reeds to be stored, Velcro fastened ... Just watch the fit of the case halves, top to bottom as soom seem to be distorted and dont fir very well. The case is quite light for it's size and well complimented with it's leatherette covered single handle, which helps aid sweaty palms when handling the case ... Overall I am well impressed with the case and the quality to which it is built, 4 Stars from me ... DeanoTheSaxman

It has to be pried open, fails to hold hold all of my accessories, slides off my lap when assembling my instrument, and won't accommodate myclarinet.

Honestly, I purchased a case like this from SKB years ago. Because of the strap hit the latches, my case popped open and my saxophone his the street. SKB was good enough to pay for the fix, but I highly recommend that you check before you go riding you bike with your case.

Just like the Tenor, I Love love love this case.. Sturdy and lighter then expected. Will give good protection to the horn. I have a modern horn if anyone is wondering but it's typical in size.You need to have/purchase your own strap which is probably a good thing, in other case that come with straps, tend to be horrible. 5 stars guys.Albert RiveraProfessional Saxophonist and Composer

After many weeks of reading reviews and comments about various cases and realising that most cases were either too dear or cheap the one case that stood out from the pack was the SKB440.The SKB440 won out for just because the design was right, the quality is high and the price is good.I like the padding, the fit is good even with my SML from the 1950s, so it's quite universal unlike some cases out there. The addition of a place for the neck to sit safely is great. Other contoured cases require the neck to sit in a pouch in the bell. The outer shell is rock solid and does seem to be mostly indestructible. I love the solid clip-hasps especially since one of them can accommodate a padlock. Whilst not water-resistant the case when closed seems near-to water resistant, well, enough to protect the instrument on a rainy day anyway.The strap d-rings are a great addition, although I'm not sure I use a shoulder strap personally, it's good to have the option.The outer pocket is perfect for reeds and bits and pieces.The 440 comes with a pouch for the bell to put mouthpieces and things. It's a little bit thin for me so I'm using a BG bell pouch instead. But the SKB supplied pouch is still good enough for the job.I'm not a touring artist or anything just the odd jaunt here and there. For international baggage handled flights I would probably spend another two or three hundred bucks and get a Walter Johnson, Hiscox or Mike Manning but for students, casual players and those not roughing too much it the SKB440 is an excellent case; it's got good looks and sturdy construction - I'm very happy with it!
