I suppose one could also use a very wide stiff leather sheath open at one end. Although the "clam-shell" style case seems like it would be practical as well.

Most of the times you see a Batleth on the show they are either carried at the side, hung off of a body armor hook on the back, or hanging from pegs on a wall. I don't think the show writers ever though of having a sheath that you wear. For a weapon that large, any sheath big enough to contain it is also going to be too big to wear in most situations.
