Rugged Enclosure for 2.5" HDD

[Mr. Glass]

Hello,

I am looking for suggestions for a "ruggedized", self-powered enclosure for my 2.5" HDD.

I am worried about wear and tear to the drive itself when I put it in my backpack and transport it from place to place. I don't care so much about external protection, as I do about "padding" within the enclosure.

Ideally, I'd love to find the Otterbox of self-powered HDD enclosures

Any ideas?

Thanks!

These Lacie rugged drive look pretty sweet. http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10821

I love the Lacie enclosures. The only problem is that I already have the HDD itself. I've even called Lacie before, but they will not sell me just the enclosure without the drive. :-(
