Default Aluminum carry/storage case for 470L?

Does anyone know of any Aluminum carry/storage cases that will fit the 470L? I know they used to make one for the 450, but can't find that anywhere now, and the 470 wouldn't fit that anyway.

Ideally, I'd love one with a "glass" front so it's visible in the case on my shelf like the trex 250 case found here:

I can't say I've tried to fit my 470 into this case, however I did make an old trex 500 case fit my goblin420 perfectly! It does not have a clear front but is a great case for travel! I'm sure the 470 would fit in that case with plenty to spare!

Just notice the storage case for the 450 have sky rocketed, they use to be cheap a long time ago. Probably best making your own custom made 470L case from a 500 case. As mentioned.

Yeah I saw the 450 cases have skyrocketed too. Probably because they're discontinued. Used to be $70 brand new. I see used ones selling over $100 now. Heck, the brand new 250 cases are only $30 for both solid alum and the glass front ones.

I can't find any new 500 alum cases though either. Any suggestions? Or were you implying I try to find a used 500 case?

I use Fatmax on my two 470 and three 450L just remove the tray.

Stanley FATMAX 28 in. Tool Box $34.97

Buy at Home Depot Fatmax is lockable super light weight Heavy duty structural foam waterproof 9.2 gal capacity case. I drop and bounce these cases around and never had any bird damage.

I guess you could add some ghost poo or Packing Peanuts or wash cloths as a little Cushion but I find it is not necessary.
