SaraD,
I agree about a carry or protective case. Leather will last forever and can be cleaned with saddle soap then treated with neatsfoot oil to keep it soft as well as water and stain proof, but I would be all for a natural fiber case. Something like canvas or even hemp is fine as it can be reinforced as well as treated externally with a natural product like Nikwax to keep it dirt repellant and waterproofed. Closed with waterproof YKK zippers and you have a very protective carry case.
