I'm a bit curious about the 'ard case option. I read throught the ork codex and pg93 says that all is does is make ork vehicles un-open topped, which is kinda bad or orks.
I have a feeling that I'm missing something about the 'ard case upgrade, I've tried going through the rulebook, but too long ...
So yeah, what else does 'ard case do aside from un-open topping things (if it does anything else at all), does it turn a crew stunned to shaken or something like that?
Help please

You might want to take it on a Looted Wagon with a Boomgun. But other than that you're right, it's not an upgrade that Orks need to take. Nice the option is there though.

But what does the 'ard case do? Everyone says you should pair it with boomgun, but why?

It makes you not Open-topped. Check what Open-topped does to you when the vehicle takes damage.

Since our vehicles are open topped, any roll on the damage table gets +1 to the result. Ard case takes that away. It also doesnt allow us to disembark and assault, which sucks. So dont use it unless on a boomgun, for the simple fact that the boomgun is meant for sitting back and lobbing templates, so keeping it alive longer is what you want

'ard case makes the vehicle stronger. It is slightly less harder to destroy. So as said earlier if you have a looted wagon with a boomgun equip it with 'ard case. Because it can't transport anything if it has the boomgun, so the ability for the guys inside to shoot out and for them to get out and assault is useless.
