What is this to be used for and what will it have in the way of
keyboards, screens etc? How is it to be powered? If you provided that
sort of detail you might get better advice.

Meanwhile, try Rapid Electronics: http://www.rapidonline.com/

They sell a 7" touch screen with adapter and a clear ABS case to contain
the RPi, adapter and screen. The case isn't weatherproof and doesn't
appear to have space for any other expansion boards or a battery, which
may or may not be important for you.

OTOH, if you know anything about epoxy/glass composites or 3D printing,
it may be useful as the basis for a custom enclosure.
