I need to invest in some kind of travel bag/box. Im flying out to NZ in February and then on to Sydney. So in total it will be 4 legs of the journey (London>HK>Auckland>Christchurch>Sydney).
Im really tempted to get a hard case/box as it offers more protection from the light touch of the baggage handlers. What would people suggest? Ive seen this

but it sounds like its going to be too small for a 57cm frame?
Wiggle has a good range but Im not sure Im up for forking out £600 for a box?
This is pretty pricey but looks really good.

Im not confident that a cardboard box or a bag is going to provide enough protection for such a long journey. Any advice will be greatly received.
