Can't go wrong with a Hiscox case.

They're a bit pricer than some, but yes Hiscox are hard to beat for quality and value.
The standard dreadnought case can be had for £97 new, or picked up used for around £50 (maybe).

No guitar leaves my shop unless it's in a Hiscox case.

Stagg do some decent hard cases, for dreads, at £60.

I'd go Hiscox. Great protection but light - important that!

Gator hard case. £60-70 on average but could get cheaper if you have time to shop around.

I like rigid foam cases. Good protection and v. light.
