I'd discourage a gig bag for school use unless you tether a rottweiler to it. It's just too easy to get a hard bump in the shuffle of things.
A decent hardshell case is available from Badger Strate Repair & Supply in Elkhorn, WI. For the 186, it'd be their B64 case (has wheels). Another alternative might be the Miraphone "slimline" cases, but I don't know if they're still made.
