Carrying cases for SLRs are/were often in two parts: the front part could be
removed for shooting, and the back/lower part stayed on to protect the
camera. I have a D70 and would like to have such a protective case for it.
I've looked at the Nikon site but found no reference. Do such a thing
exist? Thanks.

I thought of the same thing about 4 years ago when I got my Dimage 7hi
(an SLR styled EVF camera by Minolta), even made a cardboard dummy
every-ready case for it.
The problem was that there were so many controls (not to mention the
LCD on the back) all over it, that the case would have had to have
enough holes to make it almost more useful as a sieve and it would
hardly have any structural integrity.
A quick look at my Pentax ist-Ds and it has the same problem.
I use a Lowepro TLZ Mini bag/case for my Pentax and a smaller no-name
case for my Dimage, the whole camera with zoom lens fits inside.

Sounds like what we used to call a never-ready case. I'd hope that
nobody makes 'em anymore.

The one on my Pentax KM used to work very well.

Hi.

Those Ever (Never) ready cases were very handy for the all-metal cameras
without any built on grips. I had several for various cameras, but only ever
used the body half. In fact I just dumped the front halfs straight away.

They effectively thickened up the body, and gave a few more edges, which let
you hold the camera much better with just one hand.

There is no way I would ever consider using one on my nice rubberised
ergonomically shaped DSLR.

Even in the old days a complete "Ever Ready" case shouted "Pratt", "Nerd" or
"Anorak", (or whatever the equivalent words were then).
