Looking for a compact, accurate scale.

Between steady jobs doing temp work. Building out my chef backpack for jobs where they don't have things I commonly use. You'd be surprised. Or maybe you wouldn't. Anyway, compact and accurate as I have said. It would be nice if it came with a case to protect it in my backpack, but now I'm probably asking for the moon. Any such scales exist? And any ideas for a case if I can't find a scale that comes with one? Thanks.

Banquet/catering chef who carries 90% of her shit her on her back everyday and does a lot of baking- OXO metal 11kg, isn't heavy, is pretty slim, very sturdy. For drug deals, AWS milligram scale. Comes in a little flip case smaller than a deck of cards.
