Remember also that strong cases are heavy

Not these days. Carbon Fibre with good padding is both light and strong, and
expensive. Well made ABS cases with good padding are pretty light and
strong.
Plywood is heavy and not necessarily better. And you sure don't want to
travel with them by plane these days with excess baggage charges what they
are.
