[QUOTE="outboard, post: 101784, member: 3261"] I travel regularly by plane and although I don't have experience transporting detectors I would suggest the hard case. I lost a laptop that was packed in a soft backpack after wrapping it in layers of "padding" and inserting it into the middle of the clothing in the pack. it was well protected from any reasonable shock it would experience from being dropped or thrown by baggage handlers but it appears that a hard corner from someone else's case landed dead centre of my bag unfortunately soft padding will not protect sensitive equipment from this kind of impact (the laptop was old and worth very little in my case and so the loss was not significant) I believe a hard case can be locked and while you can lock zippers on soft cases a standard ballpoint pen will undo an zip by simple insertion [/QUOTE]
