The semi-rigid, not quite hard plastic case mine came in was a disappointment also.
You can probably get the same/similar even bettercase at Academy or any of the big catalog stores.

for what it is worth I prefer to use a soft case that has some pockets for mags and accessories.

In my experience hard cases are a pain in the neck unless they are truly needed because you won't need the rifle quickly but you do need to protect it.
