Looking for something hard. Don't want sensitive electronics like my IR camera crushed or my glow sticks getting lit by accident as examples.

How many orders of magnitude is the equipment vs the cases you are looking at buying.
Some times the price of the gear justifies it, like my thermal camera.
Others the case might cost what the contents cost but the value might not be dollars when you open it.
Examples of that are fire starting items and first aid.
