Sometimes cheapo isda Bomb!Since I have to put my Stylus in a backpack and hoof it up the steep hill to the slope, the most functional case I have found is the soft insulated lunch box at Wal-Mart. $5.89 and the corners don't poke me in the back - lightweight, too! I just cut a small piece of foam
$67.50 is HARDLY more than $100.
I got the price from the Pelican web page for a case very similar in

account too of course.
I'm still putting my MPX in a Wal-Mart cheapie case ~$14. Well I think that
says it all. (and it works just fine, thank you)

I have a $2,300 TX, so the $67 doesn't really seem like TOO much to
protect it. But if the extra $30 is TOO much, then I get it. I have a
case that I can throw across the parking lot,

I have been using wal-mart plastic pistol cases for my transmitters for
years and have never had any problems what so ever, and at only $7.99 thats

transmitters. Can anyone point me at a good case at an even better price?
