Hello Khan,
I don't have a hard case myself, but I also am looking for one for my Turkish. I found a very nice turkish hard case, quite expensive. All i can find for Egypt ouds was a case that seemed to be low quality and is priced accordingly. The cheapest price i can find on that case was here:

Hard Case

GoodLuck finding a case, please let us know where you find it

I finally ordered one from Ibrahim Sukkar. He can usually ship it from Halab to any place you want. I have people who are going to visit me from Beirut, so I aked him to deliver it there. The cost was very minimum. All in all will cost around $50. Brilliant!

Congrats, Let us know how it is when it arrives. I'm thinking of getting one, thanx.

I have used it before and it is really great. I have flown with it everywhere. It fits in the plane's cabin and is reasonably sturdy. I think it is the best value for many , compared to the other ones that I have seen.
I also saw yesterday an Iraqi oud player visiting London from Baghdad and he seemed to have a great oud case. He was telling me that they are making some really good one in Baghdad, yet there is no way of directly ordering one.

There is no reply though I am emailing Mr.Sukkar many times.
How are you buying a hard case from Mr.Sukkar?
