In my opinion, ProTec cases are about as good as you can get for a good combination of protection, features and price. I have a double combination case (trumpet flugel) that has places for 4 mouthpieces, protects the horns well, and has a massive side pouch that has internal compartments.

There are times that I have had 9V batteries, two kinds of valve oil, a mouthpiece pouch, pencils, my tuner, a lyre, and any other number of trumpet related things, plus a 1 inch 3-ring binder full of my gig music, and it all fit with room to spare. You might not get quite that much room with in the side pouch with just a 2 trumpet case, but the side pouch will certainly have a lot of room nonetheless.

I prefer that combo case over my all leather Reunion Blues tripple trumpet bag. The horns fit better, there is more room for music and gear, plus it protects better. The best part about ProTec cases is the price. They are very affordable and even though they have a reputation for not holding up well, I've used mine almost constantly for just over 2 years and mine is still in great shape.
