Most durable, well built small form factor cases?

Looking for a mini ITX / micro atx build that would be able to protect components during travel. Limited availability for choices here, but considering several silverstone models (milo ml08h or raven zx01, sg13/11) or fractal design node 202, but all seem to have some weaknesses. Is there a small case, that has a very sturdy build that wont break under weight or pressure?
 
How much weight and pressure?

Are you carting it around to LAN parties, or what?

FWIW, I wouldn't consider the SG05 particularly rugged - it can hold the normal amount of weight on top of the case (a few pounds, although I wouldn't use it as a footstool) but it's so full of vent holes that anything dusty or liquidey on the outside will get on the inside immediately.

You'd probably be better off if you bought an appropriately sized case and cut some foam.

(^^ Example - definitely not the only place to get those sorts of hardshell cases.)

Lian Li PC-TU100 or PC-TU200 are both compact, durable aluminum cases, and have built-in handles. The drawback is they are quite expensive, look to spend around $80-120
