Refractor case/ box

Has anyone found a good source for cases for refractor telescopes in the 100-120mm range?
I am not a friend of super heavy wooden road case style boxes, more like light fibreglass or polyethylene blow moulded types.

As a backup I plan to take a 160mm PVC drain pipe, glued cap on one end, screw-cap on the other, line with 30mm closed cell foam, install handle and 4 feet, maybe spray-paint.
Whilst that is a unconventional solution, it would be cost effective, robust and dust tight as long as the scope has no finder attached.
