It makes more sense to build one yourself. They are made from corrugated plastic (google term: coroplast) which is very, very easy to work into useable form with basic hand tools. This fella on YT has a great channel to get the basics[1].

When the election was over, I went and collected a bunch of coroplast signs and have since turned them into all manner of things. My DIY ebike battery needed an enclosure as its a giant 13s10p from recycled laptop batteries. I folded up a old sign and used zipties to hold it together. Strapped it to the bike and Bob's your uncle... It works a treat!
