http://shop.weinermusic.com/BAM-FRANCE-HIP-HOP-Bb-CLARINET-SINGLE-CASE-3027DB-BLACK/productinfo/CB13027DB/# I have an old 1 piece clarinet
(upper body+lower body together) and its case is totally garbage. Does someone have experience with this case? There aren't many 1 piece clarinet cases or backpacks for sale as far as I am concerned...

With good reason - they're a bad idea.

A soprano sax case might fit, or be alterable to fit.
Gun cases come in a large variety of sizes.

I would spend some time with a hot glue gun and some finishing nails and a vacuum cleaner and do what you can with your original case. How bad is your original case anyway?

I will put pictures tomorrow but I absolutely hate the interior,2 locks are too rusty and I don't know if it latches well.

Oops! I didn't realise it's for a one-piece body clarinet. I wouldn't advise using these cases for regular jointed clarinets as that will end up causing the tenons to bind in the sockets and the tenon corks to compress.
But do see if you can fit the clarinet in with the bell and barrel separate (and fit dividers in the case to keep them apart) so the corks become compressed.
