gig bag

Soft guitar case

A gig bag is a soft, padded case for transporting a musical instrument—typically a guitar, bass, or keyboard.

Unlike rigid hard cases, gig bags are lightweight and often have backpack-style straps and pockets for accessories: He slung the gig bag over his shoulder and headed to rehearsal.

The name comes from musicians carrying instruments to gigs.
