Build one yourself it will save you about $200.
I'm very happy with mine $50 at Lowes and $40 at JoAnn Fabrics.
Mine is 4 ft so yours may cost a few bucks more.

I use a Odyssey facade. Here's a link for it.

I fixed the link, I use the same one but I am making it wider by 42" and cutting the outer bottom edge to recess the L1 powerbase into it. It will also come apart in 3 sections, when I'm done

If anyone wants his name recessed into the facade I know the guy that can do a fantastic job. If your looking for custom work for your facade or a case he is good at that also.
If I ever figure out how to post pictures I've got some examples to show you.
I have one facade with the name "Cesar" recessed into it and it looks pretty good.

Scroll down some to the Manage attachments button, or put them on another website, and post a link to them.
I built mine, love it. Not super mobile but worth the look. Once the fabic wears down in places just pay $20 and rewrap in new fabric - a piece of cake. I've actually gotten on preffered DJ lists from venues because of this thing.
Here is a video of how I made it.

Kris, nice work:
Here is what I did with mine:
PVC 3 sections, Center 6' 5" wide, sides 2' deep, height 3' 10"
4 10' pvc 1/2 inch $7.00
Walmart $1.00 yard black fabric heavy $8.00
PVC glue $3.00
PVC t's and corners $15.00
Sides fold in with material still on.
Made material like a pillow case to slip on off. (large pillow case)
Less that $40.00
1/2 hr to cut PVC and put together
(1) wife needed for sewing
Less than 5# and is fold-able
Pics are of first fabric we tried before finished, also back drops which truss goes behind them when they are standing side by side by side

That is about the only issue I have with it. The three sections fold up, I stack them ontop of one of my rolling lighting road cases and wheel it into the trailer, where it stays. Without a trailer or something to stack it on and leave it, you just have to be careful with it.
I really like the rugged heavy construction because it seems like people are always leaning on it when making requests which isn't an issue with this facade.
Kris make up a couple pillow case like bags to fit the peaces and voila instant protection anyone with minimal sewing skills can sew three corners also if you need em to be heavier duty get some stronger cloth and have a sewing shop sew the pieces for you for a nominal fee.
