One option is to buy an original 10B, in any condition but with a nice case; often this is cheaper than buying just a Pioneer case; if you are patient and check eBay often, you can probably buy one for $10-15 dollars shipped.

Then use the case for the 21S and use the 10B as a doorstop, or to level a bookcase, or some other useful task around the house. The case justifies the purchase so repurposing the 10B to some non-calculating task is fine.

Bob's idea is excellent ! (normal: I had the same several times...)

but... now I have several HP-10Bs that work (even one with the manual).
I bought them all for less than 10€ while the least Pioneer case was offered (alone) at 30€ minimum.
Now my HP-10Bs are all now without cases and in addition they are useless to me.
Unfortunately I have no rickety bookcase and I have sliding doors... so the HP-10Bs sleep at the back of a closet.

otherwise www.thecalculatorstore.com (Spain) offers a true leather case for Pioneer calculators but at €17.36 + VAT + delivery...
