I got a case I'm really happy with: the Pelican 1500.  As hard as it is to spend money
(around $130-150) on a case rather than more gear, anybody with an MD knows it's worth
protecting.
If yr not familiar, Pelican cases are advertised as indestructible and are completely air
tight (if you change altitude you have to open the purge valve to release the vacuum
inside!).  The 1500 size gives you plenty of room around the edges of the MD, and once you
pluck out the foam you don't need the Machine sits in there nice and snug.
My MD's cardboard box has had it.  Since I got a case I've been travelling more with the
MD, never give a second thought about tossing it around.  It can be propped up within the
case for playing at a better angle and keeping it off yr buddy's bar where someone is
waiting to spill on it :)

Yeah, haven't tried getting on a plane with it yet tho.  I can almost see the security
personel banging their heads to MD patterns everytime one of us tries to get thru and is
asked to plug it in.

K, I'm done geeking out.
cheers,

I heard about those Pelican cases when I was last in the states.  I 
didn't know they were that good.
