I have been shooting trad for 15 years.  I shoot full length gold tip 340's plus nock length. I draw to the broadheads touches my fingers.   Although not extra ordinarily tall I do have a two inch longer wing span than my friends who who is 6'5". 

There are downsides to having a long draw length.

I have a black widow strung bow case I've used for years that works great. I don't take it on bear hunts though, never have really had a need. If you take a case with a zipper be sure to wax it up as the mud will try to clog the zipper.

When I was at Stickflingers I just held my bow in my hand and bashed Parker in the back of the head with the riser if he got going too fast!

Not knowing your experience in trad archery and longbows, coupla things come to mind. 

The first is, are you sure of your 31" draw length?  Even a tall, big archer such as Howard Hill had a 28" draw length.  As most trad archers continue their shooting experience, at least a fair number will shorten their draw length - for better shooting and not for being overbowed.

If you really absolutely do require that long a draw length, even a specialty 64" longbow will more than likely not be as consistently stable as much longer 68" or so longbow.

Please tell us more about how a 31" draw length is yer requirement.

PowWow / Little Ax strung bow case?

Found this company online, looks like a sweet padded case! May be just the ticket for my trip to Stickflingers as well as jaunts out to the hunting property.

Anybody tried these? Or have a USA company they like?

I have used a 66" RD longbow before, but it was very limiting for my style of hunting.   Thanks for all the responses, you folks a very helpful.

Dan recommends his Whip for that draw length.
I apologize for lack of clarity.

A number of builders of mild r/d longbows, but at 31 inches, I think most will stack pretty good.  Why not consider a 66- or even 68-inch bow?

There are a number but you'd be hard pressed to do better than a Toelke Whip.
