Flight cases for EMB120?

[FlyingToIST]

I have been looking for flight cases for the EMB120 that i will be manning soon. Jeppesen's might be good but it's expensive. Any other source that i can get these cheap?

thanks..

Office Depot special... $39. Sit it right on top of the library on the right side.

I use this one. More expensive than the office depot special, but it is also smaller, which is great. My FOM, 2" and 1" Jepp binders, and Bose in its bag fit snugly in the main compartment. All my other stuff is easily accessible in the other pockets, and there's an elastic open pocket on one end that is meant for a water bottle I think, but a paperback book is a perfect fit in it.

If you're like me, and a minimalist rather than a pack rat, get one of these... It's a great bag works great lasts a long time.....I can hold both jepp binders, my FOM, headsets and a flashlight without cramming too much.......And I have room for beef jerky, Kool Aid, and some trail mix.....

any kind of hard sided case is going to end up leaning on your shoulder, so get something soft.....

Serious? Moving to the 120 in a few weeks, I think that'll irritate me....

Not necessarily true, unless you're so tall you have to have the seat all the way back. The office depot special works best if stood on end, and it does fit nicely on the jepp case. A little annoying because it's rigid, but it's good for when you're commuting and some jerk tries to cram his rolling bag into the same overhead.

Go with your old nylon flight bag when you were a student or CFI.

Backpack, with the belt that clips in front of the chest.

That's my problem..the seat's almost all the way back. With my soft flight bag I can beat and shimmy it so it leans against the window. I tried the office depot special for about a week. It got pretty annoying trying to get that thing to sit upright properly. Oh ya, and the noral bag i mentioned earlier slides right into *any* overhead bin....no pushing, shoving or cursing involved

Only problem with that is you're gonna have both hands full with that and an overnight bag (if you get a rollaboard). I see a lot of people with the non rolling version of that sitting right on top of whatever overnight bag they have.....seems to work good too...

the rollig backpack with drink tube & ipod holder is the way to go.
