There are soft "cases" which are really only fabric bags, and using them is as silly as carrying your unprotected crystal glassware around in a similar soft, opaque bag. People cannot even see that the contents is fragile, and the bag offers close to zero protection, other than against dust and rain.

However there are also various very light rectangular cases containing a lot of well-lined, sax-hugging polyurethane foam, including an option offered by Selmer Paris. These probably offer better protection, especially against knocks and drops than most hard cases, which typically support the sax in only a few places.
