When I was at university, I invested in the old-style "bags" French Horn case. Lighter than a standard hard case, though much more robust than a gig bag. This is the sot of thing:

The case saw my YHR-668N safely through uni, only failing when a large and heavy object fell on it. (the large heavy object being me, the person wearing it!) The case has straps and buckle points for both rucksack and shoulder-strap configurations, as well as (of course) just carrying by the handle.
