Board enclosure alternatives

Hi, I am from India & its not economical to order a case for the board
from Special Computing or Digi-key. IDA systems here don't stock them
either (last time I checked).

The thing is, I have had the board for months now & always have been
apprehensive about potential damages that can be caused by static
electricity. I am not sure if I have unknowingly fried a few caps &
components.

I have been thinking of these alternatives, please advise:

1. Cardboard boxes
2. Wooden enclosures
3. ?

As you can guess, I am looking for cheap alternatives and easy DIY. It
would be nice if someone could suggest a simple solution.

Thanks.
