The secret Katrina to an amazing new clarinet case under $15 is to not buy an amazing new clarinet case, but a generic case and cut out openings for your clarinet's parts (e.g.)

If you want one of these on ebay search for "gun cases."

I once bought one on ebay with dual sides. One side contained by Bb, the other my "A." As long as the bell of each instrumennt where positioned in different places in the case on either side, as their width at the widest part was more than 1/2 the width of 1 side of the case, it safely contained my horns in an incredibly small case that was otherwise put into a larger gig bag with the rest of my gear.
