Hi. I have a spare 2.5 inch 250GB SATA HDD from my laptop. I'm using it as a makeshift external HDD using a USB-SATA adapter cable. I did not buy the case since I thought I would only be using it at home. However, now I think I may need to bring it around with me, and carrying around a naked internal HDD can damage it. Can anyone tell me how to build a case for this? I don't want to buy a case as it would render my USB-SATA adapter cable useless.

What I need is ideas on how to build a case for this. Thanks :)
