Just coming from the world of Jeeps and replacement bodies (bear with me),
wouldn't fiberglass be a possible choice? I know you don't need quite so
fancy a mold to get it happening, but I don't know that it would provide
quite the same protection to the unit when it's dropped...
At any rate, cheaper than $100 g's.
