Enclosure suggestions for AP650 and AP230?

I'm mounting these in our school gym where they will be probably be used as target practice, and was looking for an enclosure to use to protect them. Anyonehave something that will fit?

FYI, the Tripp-Lite 11'x11' ABS Wireless Access Point Enclosure with Lock (model EN1111) is not quite big enough to rotate the AP650 fully to lock it onto the Aerohive mounting ring. You can rotate it enough that I don't think it will be an issue, but it is not fully locked. However, on the off chance it disconnects from the mounting ring, it will fall about an inch and then be caught by the enclosure housing

Other than that, this looks like a nice enclosure. It comes with an (optional) mounting piece that mimics mounting to a standard drop ceiling . If you are getting more than one, you might want to request that they are keyed the same.

Putting anything in front of the AP will degrade the wireless signal, and you especially want to avoid metal or glass (or really anything reflective) as those will shred your signal further. We did have a post a while back about a 3D printed cover for the back ports (https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/question/0D50c00006G0OsiCAF/physical-security-for-ap-130-eth...) but that may not be what you're looking for as that was geared towards covering the ports rather than protecting the AP as a whole.
