there's a briefcase type travel case for the mantis available if needed which looks really sturdy... can't remember the manufacturer though
I've taken mine on trains, planes and buses with no problem in just the normal carry case - whilst hauling a large bag as well, though!! but I do understand though, I wouldn't like to drop it too far!
I see Thom Yorke/The Smile tour with a mantis - I wonder what they use... possibly a pelican...
I can't imagine having to put my modular away,,, mind you, it's a bit difficult with 8 cases!

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
