Has anyone found a protective case suitable for the air's superdrive? Mine's getting bashed about in transit and I'm worried for it's safety! I have a nice LArobe case for the actual air, but can't seem to find something similar. Any suggestions?

I can empathize fully with your predicament. The only criticism i have for the external Superdrive is lack of a detachable cord. If you could detach the cord, it would be just a matter of finding a suitable padded zipper case.
I simply resorted to using the original box, for however long it lasts me, for mobile transport.
I do not own this, but it might work. I do own one of their cases for the Air and the quality is top notch.

This picture from SF Bag's website says it all.
That power/usb cord is begging to get bent/kinked/frayed all to heck right behind the strain relief at the drive end, after stuffing into a backpack for a while. Just like the straight magsafe adapters do at the other end, for which apple just settled their class action suit.
SG bags really expects you to just let the cord hang out and tuck the end into an outside pocket. LOL.
Looks like the cord "kink" is just begging someone to try using/adapting a small micro jack at the point of entry.
I've taken the superdrive apart once, but can't remember if there's much clearance in the back to adapt a "jack" connector solution to the cord problem.
Would be nice if the cord was "jack" removable for transporting. Maybe some day I'll take another look at this issue.
