There are a number of cases that will withstand the gentile touch of airport baggage handlers. Best is Anvil, if you can locate a motion-picture supply house or a professional musicians store they should have acess to the product. It is expensive and announces that it contains something expensive enough to be protected in these costly case. There are other manufactures of cases that will do the job. My advise is to buy the smallest case to serve your needs and then find an old beaten up regular suitcase and put the protective case inside it for shipping. Happy snaps, Steven Alexander
