Is there something else I should maybe consider?

I like this one 'cos it's within my price range.

 

I don't know if that particular brand is good or not, but Target sells the same thing for a little cheaper. Check it out on their site for a comparison.

I have been interested in getting one of these carrier cases too, but think that the hard case may be better. Does anybody know who sells the hard cases and how much they cost?

 

Anything weathertech makes is a good product. They make the best window rain gaurds and hood protectors IMHO. Go for it if it's in your price range.
