Default Hardshell case for 1/2-size instrument?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a basic hardshell case for a 1/2-size classical instrument?

I don't need an Anvil stainless something that can be run over by a tank, but I would like to find something harder than a padded gig bag. Either tolex-covered plywood like the cases for my full sized instruments, or even something in molded hard plastic (like a Gator).

It's dam ned-near impossible to search for these with Google -- lots of cases pop up, but they all turn out to be for full sized instruments.

Do half-size hardshell cases even exist?

Thanks much.

Contact the folks at Elderly.com who I find are great to work with when it comes to finding me custom or unusual guitar case sizes. Have your dimensions ready to share and put them to work.

Would a Taylor case for a Baby Taylor or GS Mini work? There must be a range of cases from the brands that make parlor size guitars or larger ukuleles.

This??

I have one of these, it is a lovely solid looking case. Unfortunately, it is too small for the parlor size I bought it for so I now have to build a guitar for it. The sizes listed are pretty tight so check.
