Is there a good Mini Itx Case with handles that I'm not seeing?

The answer used to be the Corsair Graphite 380t (if a bit expensive), but you can't even find that anymore, and after contacting Corsair they told me the case was discontinued.
The other case I was looking at was the Bitfenix prodigy, but even that case is starting to get price gouged, unless you want to get some ugly solid red. Eww. (Not to mention the handles are flimsy)
I would love to be able to carry the PC in one hand and hold something in the other. I move around a lot and have to move my setup pretty frequently.

Was thinking about putting an i5 8400 and a full size 1070 that I already own. What case would suit my needs?

Outside of the cases you mention, and a couple of cheaply made options, handles are tough to come by (outside of monsterous 'lan party' ATX rigs, for some reason).

Just a thought, but there are some mITX cases that you could hold in one hand (or under arm etc), although admittedly, you'd likely have to use two to initially pick it up).

Things like the Elite 130 or 110 from CoolerMaster (although the 110 won't fit a full-length GPU), Silverstone RVZ03B etc, but would need an SFX PSU, Node 304 etc.

The Prodigy can be had for ~$65 USD right now though:
