Bought this for our 10-year-old son to replace the nearly 40-year-old case for the sax he had inherited. Compared to the typical hard case that school instruments seem to come with, this has everything. It's much more lightweight, yet offers the same protection as a hard case as best as I can tell. It has a rigid shell inside the fabric exterior, and the softness of the outside seems like it will make bumping incidents more forgiving. I must have dented so many walls with my hard case when I was a kid.
It still has the typical interior corner compartment for accessories like reeds, cleaning stuff, etc., but it also has an exterior pocket for flat items (such as sheet music, if you fold it. Sadly, not big enough for full sized book though).
The killer feature(s) is the shoulder strap and back pack straps. If your kid is going to school, they are going to carry this thing along with other stuff. These options mean this case can be carried hands-free, which allows them to handle other stuff as needed.
Another thing I wish it had, is a name tag holder pouch. There wasn't really a great place to tag it, I ended up making something that I could zip tie to one of the handles but would prefer something more low profile.
The price was fair. I am cheap when it comes to cases, and was initially hoping to find something for $40-$50. But after buying this a bit begrudgingly, I have to admit this thing is worth the money, no question.
In all, I'd give this thing 4.5 stars, but I rounded up for the Amazon review scale, which only handles integers. If there is a better soft case option for alto saxophone out there, I couldn't find it.

Good, lightweight case overall. Not sure I'd have a beginner use it.
We needed a replacement case for one of our high school tenor saxes, and this will work well for our purposes. These are NOT as protective as a standard case, so I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. In our case, it's for a student who is already careful, but is often commuting with a school backpack, a saxophone, and a bag of sports equipment, so the extra carrying options (shoulder or backpack straps) made it a great choice.Our older Selmer student model tenor sax fit well in the case, and we like the extra pocket on the outside for music and other accessories.We did have a good laugh at the warning on the box when it arrived, calling for "team lift". I think it weighs 5 pounds.
