Hey y'all, I'm needin' a light-weight flight case for my steel (SD-10).
Need one that can actually hold-up to some airport abuse.
Does anyone know a company or individuals who could help me out?
If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch!

I had a case from Red Dirt (formerly Texas Case) that was great, but not at all lightweight.
If you are planning on flying and need a case, 1/4" ply will not do at all, you need at least 3/8". Additionally I had them use steel rivets every three inches instead of their usual pop rivets every six inches. This conforms to the ATA300 standard for flight cases.
My D10 Emmons Legrande III in the road case weighed 85 lbs.....but it was pretty much bullet proof! The case itself with nothing in it weighed 38 lbs.
