For those desiring a hard case for treasured Commanders, I have found two. Sunglass Hut sells a hard sunglass case for $10. WalMart sells a hard sunglass case somewhat thinner than the Sunglass Hut model for $5.
These cases are just the right size, and are perfect for transporting the Commander in checked luggage. The thin WalMart case can be slipped in-between the lining and the exterior of the suitcase.
Why perfect for airlines? Regulations, if you follow them, require that anything sharp be inside a hard case so that aircraft skin won't be punctured as luggage is compressed against the outer skin during the loading process.
