I love my Jakob Winter case. It does exactly what a case is supposed to do and protects my horn beautifully. It fits the mouthpiece, neck, a 4 reed case, and my neck strap inside so I have everything I need when I get to the gig and open the case. The two straps that allow me to wear the case on my back are great and I could walk a long way if required. I also love that it opens completely and sits flat when open. I can put the horn down in the case without worrying the lid will fall on it. What I would love for the case to have would be to have another handle at the "top" of the case and some feet on the bottom of the case (near the bottom of the bell) so it would "stand up" when I am on a crowded train or bus, though is is not crucial, just nice to have. The finish looks like it will deal with a real beating and still look good, though only time will tell that. In the end the lightness, great protection, and quality finish, makes it great value for money and one of the best, if not the best case on the market.
