Regarding case material for productizing, you could consider a combination of plywood and bent sheet metal, eg like a Moog. Also check out dato.mu for a few examples of kid proof synth enclosures.

Would bent sheet metal have any sharp corners or edges? For kids it's probably best to avoid those.

You can debur it as part of the manufacturing process, and then when it gets powder coating it smooths out even more. But you can just embed the sheet metal edges in a groove on a wooden side.
