Garage sale may have a suit case or old camcorder case. Goodwill or
Salvation Army or other thrift stores may have something. Use a chunk of
foam to make it fit the case better.

You want cheap?
Go to a thrift store and look at the luggage. A large briefcase will
probably run you $5 to $10. Hot glue in some Styrofoam blocks and you are
all set.
Look for the rigid plastic luggage. This will probably outlast the softer
stuff.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

I had one of those HF cases. It is cheep Chinese plywood covered with a
thin skin of the aluminum. They fall apart.

Hmmmmm... I have one of the HF cases that I use to carry my mics around and
it's been great. Maybe it's not the same one you bought. Mine is about a
foot long or so and about 8 or 9 inches wide. I think it's about 4 or 5
inched deep and is foam filled. I don't think mine has any plywood in it
though. I'm sure I could break it, but then again I could break most of the
cases for tools if I tried. My HF case does a good job of protecting my
mics and that's all I ask of it.

If you can't find one at a thrift shop, how about making one? Get and
aluminum briefcase from Harbor freight, cut styrofoam to fit it and cut
a pattern with a saw tooth knife. Otherwise, use the case, adn 3" foam
and set the nailer in it. The case is usually on sale for about $15.

I dropped by the manufacturer's repair/retail outlet and grabbed one.
Wasn't that much ($10ish, IIRC) and certainly was a perfect fit...
