Definitely not for the weight weenies and maybe a little over engineered, but somehow cool nevertheless: VeloCase Fahrradkoffer Aluminium (http://www.manufactum.de/velocase-fahrradkoffer-aluminium-p1459610/?a=40097)
Sorry for the German reseller website but it's actually better than their own...

Unless you're biking to the bunker with the nuclear launch codes I don't see the point. German weirdness.

Almost 6 lbs for an empty case, yikes!

Negligible, once you fill them with those 28 bottles of beer as shown in one of the pics ;)

OK, it all makes perfect sense now. Better go add some air to my tires and buy a stronger rack.

...and those are 0.5l bottles by the way.
28 x 0.5l = 14 liters!

Funny enough, I commuted for about two years with a bright yellow Pelican 1520 case strapped to a rear rack.

There's something to be said for riding with something that needs that kind of protection yet just not caring because, well, it was protected!
