Check with Adoram and B&H. Seems they have carrying cases. Mine are in a cheap case. The foam deteriorated long ago and I have been too lazy to cut new inserts.

With the price of a good set of strobes don't skimp on the case, put em in a good hard case. I keep mine in two pelican 1620 cases (think thats the correct number) A few weeks agao I put them in staorage because I didn't know when or if I would ever touch my camera again. On the way to the storage building one of them feel off the top of my jeep going about 20mph (please don't ask how or why it was up there). I just knew the strobe was trash but there was no damage at all! The pelican case was scratched up pretty bad but it protected the two strobes in it. Pelicans are high but one mishap like I had and they pay for themself. The two Versalight D1000 in it would have cost about $1200 to replace abd the case cost me around $200. Look around on Ebay, there's always pelican cases on there fairly cheap.
