Looking for alternative case for Sadowsky NYC 5-string

[Gladowsky]

I currently am using the factory case (Ultralight) and am disgusted that it too (it is the second one I've had) is falling apart. I don't want to spend 225+ on the new softshell New York cases so am looking for an alternative. Does anyone know of a hardshell case for under $150 that will fit?

Thanks.

Not a hard shell but the body glove cases are ridiculously thick yet easily portable. Not expensive. My bass is always in tune after a trip in the case.

ProTec makes some nice durable cases. I've purchased these (Contego Pro) on Amazon for around $99.

I wanted to respond in case (no pun intended) someone was wondering if I found a good-enough case for my Sadowsky. I did. Although it's not a full hard-case it is a very padded gig-bag:

This seems like a very durable case, has ample storage, and is very comfortable to carry.
