Sold under the Bostitch label at Lowe's   
http://www.lowes.com/pd_352329-355-BTST23001_0__?productId=3387822&Ntt=stanley+tool+box&pl=1   
($19.95) and under the FatMax brand at Walmart
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-FatMax-23-Toolbox/14146170 ($20) this
tool box made a nice travel case for my ETX-70.  These cases are also
available as 28-inch models for around $30.  Nice features include a
moisture seal gasket, heavy duty construction and an open interior plan.

I may add a bit more foam to the edges, but the foam fingers do a pretty
good job on their own.  (In case you were wondering, the latch on the
tripod shelf is merely a mod to make the shelf quick
connect/disconnect.).

If done with custom cut foam there could be quite a bit more room for
accessories.
