Chris Jaycar also have a range of cases. In my experience the Kingcrome cases are very good, I have a couple of the small black cases from Jaycar and they are also good quality.

Personally, unless I was travelling and seperated from my gear, I wouldn't use a Pelican style case, they're too bulky, inconvenient to carry around and don't have the storage of a good backpack.

For storage and transport I uses instead a Lowepro Flipside 400 AW, which will comfortably house 2 bodies, 70-200 F4L, 100mm Macro and extension tubes, 15mm Fisheye, 24-105, 2x 580EX, filters a timer, batteries, charger, some handbooks and other miscellaneous items. If I need more storage Lowepro also has a rande of clip on storage cases, that will be my next step as there isn't much room left in the bag. The flipside also has the zipper on the inside back of the case so no one can tamper with it from behind. It also has a decent rainhood.
