A bit pricey, but this one "feels" like the original case, just in a
nicer leather look:

Another option to think about since the M100 was designed to be about
the size of a textbook:

I have seen the "binder" idea used in the early 80's for "training
systems". Not specifically with the M100, but a small computer with a
"breadboard" area used for computer training classes. The computer was
built on a 8.5x11 inch circuit board that had been "three hole
punched" to fit in a "three ring binder", with the manual and lesson
instructions. It was a Intel training course on the 8080. I believe
that Heathkit did something similar as well.
