Uniquely-designed soprano clarinet without a handle

Please imagine (since even just one of my photos is too large to be attached) a hinged case that overall is square, but is longer on one side and it has no handle.
What’s more, this case has a well-padded plushy interior.

Why would someone make such a case?

That sounds like a case designed to be put inside of a bag or the zipper pocket of a saxophone or bass clarinet case. I could also see a case like that being useful for putting inside of a case cover type of gig bag. I know that flutists often have cases like that.

I've wanted a case like that for traveling, so I could throw it into my "personal item" sized backpack. Handles, pockets, etc. tend to snag when pulling in and out of the bag. The protec Micro Zip fulfills that need for me while still having a low-profile handle that mostly doesn't snag on stuff.

By the way, it's likely that your computer has some software built in for compressing an image, but if not, I sometimes send an image to myself on Whatsapp and it will compress it quite well. Then I download the compressed image. I'd be curious to see the case.

Perhaps it is the Selmer tray pack clarinet case. These were a case that was meant to fit in a compartment of a saxophone case. These were designed with doublers in mind. There are also clips in the sax case that are meant to hold a flute case

I had a clarinet by A Robert of Paris that came in the same shape case. Designed to fit inside a sax case.
