The Selmer case is great, I've used it for a year now. The pocket for
music is ample and there is room for two mouthpieces two clarinets (Bb
and A or Bb and Eb) and enough room for four or five boxes of reeds.
Plus the case is very, very light. The velcro on the case's pocket is a
little ineffective, but the zipper works around the clarinet holding part
works without fail. (as opposed to the cheap-o buffet single, which
explodes randomly if you hold it by the handle).
