Looking for small case with a music pocket
It's for a jazz trombone without F-attachement. It must have a (little)music pocket.

Without getting too pricey I would check out the Protec Platinum series gig bag as this has a dedicated music pocket. The Fusion bags also have pockets large enough for music. If you're looking for high-end cases Marcus Bonna also has a nice setup with a removable music bag...

Looking for small case with a music pocket
If I really, really wanted a small music pouch on a small case, I'd honestly just get some gorilla glue and glue one to an eastman or one of the SKB 360s. I'm not aware of any compact case that has such an option by default. Fusion cases (bags) kind of have that as an option. But they aren't particularly compact.
Someone here awhile ago posted a modification they made to an Eastman case where they drilled two holes in it and put some broom mounting brackets so they could attach a hamilton trombone stand. I'm tempted to do that myself. But I've always found music easier carried in a backpack or similar because its light and actually fits in a bag... trombone stands not so much!!

Thanks for your help friends.
I think I found him: BAM 4031 SPN
For years I had a BAM case (without pocket) and they are great. Here in the Netherlands they are not that expensive.
Maybe because they are made in France.

How big is that pocket? It looks like you may be able to fit music folded in half or music meant for lyres but not much larger unless you left the pouch unzipped.

I can tell you that my BAM bass case had a pocket way to small for sheet music.

I don't think they're lying, it may be intended for music. But that doesn't speak to how effective it is as a pouch as it doesn't say how big the pouch is. From the pictures of it (unless the pictures are of a different case, which is entirely possible), it looks like the pouch is part of the body of the case and no larger. The bell is 21cm, so the pouch must be slightly smaller than that, perhaps by a few CM in that case. Most sheet music I play is at least 21.59CM (8.5" for us imperial folk). So it wouldn't work at all for me.
If, however, you only need to carry photocopies of a few charts around, or even one of those mini realbooks, it might work swimmingly.
Before you order, I'd definitely ask them to measure it for you and see if its wide enough to put what you wish to put in it.

That's a good idea. I'll send them an email.

One of my section mates has a similar case (don't know the exact model) and he keeps his sheet music in a folder and that sticks out from the case. Might be a problem if you are carrying it on a bicycle, but not so much if it is in a car.

My former BAM case had no pocket at all. By then I putt my small map between the two parts of the case. It also sticked out. I closed the zippers as far as possible. I am always by car and don't have to take books with me. Only a few pages.

Yeah. It looks like it could accommodate that.

I fit sheet music and even method books in my BAM bass case. It was a tighter fit than the MB case, but they still fit.

There different types of cases.
But for a jazz bone I begin to doubt. Let's weight for the amswer from BAM.
