True "Lexan™", is fairly expensive. It cuts pretty much as easily as plexi. Not too sure why you'd want a bullet proof case though. You should be able to pick some up at a auto body supply shop, or find out where you can get some there.

No clue what the stuff cost now. I recall it being somewhere in the neighborhood of $2400 for a windshield, and side windows for my car.

I just found a link that sells Lexan...about $22-32 per square foot for a 1/4inch sheet there is something about a custom sheet that changes the price so much...play with it a bit the price varries with the size, the more square feet the lower the sq foot cost.
Also this company has there phone # listed in the contact section.

RC car bodyshells are lexan, its tough stuff but cuts reletively easily. The only reason i can see for using it for a case window is if you are using a black light in there, as perspex degrades in UV light, but i dont think lexan does.
