Any oood ideas for a Cigar Box Guitar Case that's wearable like a back pack?

I have a bunch of traveling coming up and I need to be ready for anything.  I am having trouble finding adequate case protection for my CBG's while out on the road.  It's starting to get bothersome and a few incidents in the van could have possibly crushed one of my favorite CBG's.  HELP!!  

I am looking for a case that will last, give great protection, and can be worn on my back like a back pack.  I don't want big and bulky as it will be bothersome as I travel overseas, etc. with other bags.

Any input is great.

Oh yeah, reasonably priced too would be helpful.  A friend who makes a boat load of CBG's is taxed with this problem as we all are when ever he sells one. We should pull together to resolve this issue or I m sure lots of really great CBG's will get lost int he line of fire.

I want my "Rosie" to stick around...

I bought a nice 3/4 size gig bag. Very happy with it. Very sturdy and well padded with "backpack" straps. A bit pricey here: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Road-Runner-Roadster... but I know I did not pay that much at a local store. I took my CBG to the store to make sure the fit was good, and it fits darn good for something it was not designed for...
I've got one of these and they are the best! I highly recommend.

I bought a Banjo bag from Rockbag. They have different types. I have the most padded one and that's great.
You may want to pick up a dulcimer bag, I have and it works well.

I looked at one of those yesterday and thought of your reply. I am going back to the store with my "Ginger", (4 string cbg), and see if Cinderella has a new shoe, lol. Great idea, and I like the bag already. I hope it's a fit.

I actually use this bag right now and do not like it. I offers little or no protection on the bottom heal of the cbg. I am still looking and am close to working out a deal with a case making company to address my needs as well as other CBG players. Will keep you posted.
