I went with a Pelican 1620. This is a keeper. One day after buying it I went on this crazy two week trip with eight flights. I never was worried about whether I will have my monitor intact at the next city. But also: OMG this bag is so ugly

Warning: it attracts CATSA and TSA like the honey bees. Although CATSA at least has the brains to just ask me politely to open it, swab it and I am a go. TSA opens my hasps, goes through it, the second time they even lost my hasps and on the fourth they did not put back things in order. And if anything would happen they would take no responsibility. I had a friend who was moving after a messy divorce with a small kid so she made the mistake of checking in a high end DSLR , the TSA destroyed it
