On those rare occasions that i actually GO someplace with my 770Z, i use a zero
haliburton camera case..
hard aluminum and weather tight with acombination lock..
i have sold a few port defcon-III cases and they LOOK nice with the remote
control burglar alarm and a bunch of pockets..
my cost is $110~ and i sell them for $125 or thereabouts..
(this is NOT a commercial)
