I like the way you think! If anyone has an unwanted plastic case for
an old 4A (catalog number 6508) Milwaukee Sawzall, I'd like to give it
a good home.

It won't be free, but you can probably find either a plastic or old
style metal case on ebay. I bought a metal one for the reasons the OP
stated, but I passed over several plastic ones. AFAIK, all of the
corded Sawzalls are the same size and fit in the same case.
