Features that make this case great include the solid wood shell, wrap around fabric handle and overall superior construction of the zippers, interior and the heavy exterior fabric with bumpers. The side pockets are OK, slightly small...not big enough for music sheets but adequate for reeds and accessories. The handles are terrific, padded fabric with reinforcement to the case body and the mounting points provide nearly perfect balance and comfort.
Fit is outstanding for a Yamaha YTS-52, the quality of construction is excellent and overall the value is superior. Don't waste your money on lower end or soft cases, buy a nice Protec once and be done.
- very smart looking case available in multiple colors. My kids liked choosing their color.
- Exterior is a very sturdy-looking fabric.
- Contoured design gives the instrument adequate protection while minimizing the bulk of the case. Most rectangular cases are bulky.
- Internal storage is sufficient for all of the components of the sax as well as some cleaning supplies. There is an additional zippered storage compartment on the outside of the case which provides more than sufficient additional storage. Very convenient and easy to access.
- there are handles on the top and end of the case, which make it very easy to move around in tight spaces.
- Shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. We bought the additional "backpack straps," which we thought would make the instrument easier to carry walking to and from school, but the boys don't use them.
- plastic "feet" on the bottom and end protect the fabric while the case is sitting on the ground, and allow you to stand it on end, which is nice for storage.
This case fits my horn (a Yanagisawa T-902 clone) nicely, though the cutout for the neck is a little odd. Size and shape are good, and I feel it will be well-protected... but there's a Velcro strap that goes over the octave key arm. Not a big fan as of now, but we'll see how that turns out. I have one criticism to offer, and that is the spacing between the padding on the top half of the case and the bow of the horn. I can feel pressure against the low-C key guard as the case closes. Hopefully the padding will relax a bit over time and I can close the case without squeezing anything, or deforming that guard. Other than that, I'm happy to see a nice beefy support up at the neck joint, and enough clearance below the main body that the left palm keys and the left pinky keys don't make contact... a statement I can't make about the stock case. (Which is now in the trash)
This case is significantly heavier than the MAX version, likely due to the wood shell, denser foam interior, and the heavier fabric and zippers. That said, the added heft will probably also translate to a longer lifespan and better protection of the instrument under heavy use... which this case will not really see. The horn was purchased for un-demanding home studio use, and for teaching purposes in public schools... so it will be in adult hands all the time, and stored in a friendly environment.

Reviewed in Mexico on September 27, 2023
On the flip side, with an instrument in it, it gets heavy, but its to be expected with a wood frame.
A Tenor Top Hat and Cane fits just barely due to bigger bell then usual. Still closes but tight (maybe too much), at least it won't move around.
Beware, contrary to picture in description, shoulder straps are not included.
