For Chromatic Harmonicas there is the F.R. Farrell Company at:
   http://www.frfarrell.com

They sell under their name zippered chromatic cases for 12 or 16 hole chromatics for something like $10.00 or $12.00.  I love these cases.  They have a belt loop if you should decide to wear it on your belt.  But the cases are great for protecting the harmonicas from garbage etc.  Naturally it's not going to keep your harps from being crushed.  But they sure are nice.  I purchase one everytime I purchase a new chromatic.

Regarding carrying cases.  Why not just use an old briefcase or purchase an inexpensive briefcase.  If you want to keep the harps from rattling around you can purchase some foam from a fabric store and cut out areas in the foam for each individual harmonica.  

Another thing I would consider for transporting harmonicas is a camera case.  They are available in both hard and soft sided versions.

Have a Great Day,
Jim
