The only US FD retailer is NCIX.

...and unfortunately, both of the places I can find in the UK that actually sell the case you want are out of stock. Ebay is empty too.

try it from the "real" NCIX site instead of the US version. On the US version the cheapest shipping I can get is $55, but the Canadian site, which still lets me deliver it to the US, has a $35 shipping option that's not on the US site
