I couldn't find the link to the photos, but are those the styrofoam cases? I think Takahashi Tsunoda may have one. He showed it to Jakob Lindberg when he was here and Jakob commented about it being very light.

They look very good, although I'm not sure they are hard cases. They are extremely light and well made, weighing in at about 1-1.5 kg. See the photos below. Just thought I'd pas this on for your information. All best wishes, Benjamin -- Dr Benjamin A.
