I spent some time searching, because I had a decently protective foam case that was at least better than a bag when I needed a case originally that was right on the $200 mark. However, it seems to have been discontinued, which doesn't surprise me because while protective the straps and wheels were awful. However, you get what you pay for right?

Anyways, I couldn't find anything substantial for less than $200. The closest I could get was this https://www.amazon.com/Crossrock-CRA862CEFSL-Molded-Wheels-Silver/dp/B07W1ZWBXW/ref=pd_sbs_3?pd_rd_w=T1oLt&pf_rd_p=2419a049-62bf-452e-b0d0-ca5b7e35a7b4&pf_rd_r=1WTHWZZY4EKAYJZKYNMM&pd_rd_r=6226fe05-a885-4ccd-8bdf-b81fd2a2d0b1&pd_rd_wg=CrR2J&pd_rd_i=B07W1ZWBXW&psc=1

Which I have no experience with and looks to me like one of those cases that has a hard exterior but it may be thinner material.

Cases are unfortunately expensive because they're big and use a lot of molded materials. I went with an Eastman Hard Case, because it was the "budget" option compared to BAM and other more expensive cases at the time. I wish I hadn't though because the exterior flakes off easily and it is pretty heavy and eventually you do get tired of that. However, the way it was explained to me was.

lighter, but protective = more $$$

equally protective but heavy = less $$$

Lighter but less $$$ = Cut costs on protection and thickness

Just food for thought, I know what it is like to be on a budget.
