Show off your Cases!!

It's on the case between/behind the handle. It's pretty much a plastic screw cap that allows the pressure to regulate so the case doesn't compress or explode. It goes by many names. Pressure release valve, altitude plug (what I call it), pressure regulator, ect.
Some of the more expensive cases have an auto valve. This one on mine is manual. I usually keep it off except when near water. It's small.. maybe 1/4 bolt with a 1" plastic head.
I have the same case and an ipad mini and it fits well in one of the side slotsNothing fancy, just the DJI hard pack but I'd really like to get something that has a spot to store an iPad/tablet...
I have the same DBS antenna and although I have not really pushed the limits as the bird is all stock but I have had no problems out as far out as 4KM as long as it is still in LOS. I do however have signal problems if I go over or behind hills at those kinds of distances.
Here are the two cases for my P2V+ and P3P. While the Storm Case is rock solid, it is bulky and the backpack I have for the P3P is carry on and apparently will fit under a Southwest seat as per one reviewer.
P2V+ in the Pelican Storm -
My P3P backpack.
Opened up for the bird.
Bird loaded and partially closed up.
Controller in top compartment.
iPad Mini sliding into the laptop slots.
The backpack has tons of slots and places to put things.

I keep my 8 inch tablet inside the same case. So all stored togetherNothing fancy, just the DJI hard pack but I'd really like to get something that has a spot to store an iPad/tablet...

For power options have you ever looked into Goal Zero. You could probably build something cheaper. But if your looking to just buy it's a good way to go.
As others have mentioned and I have put in to practice, iPad fits nicely in behind the top foam. I think the hardback is a great day-tripper but I have also just ordered a GoProfessional hard case for longer trips and air travel.

How do you like the Ultimax backpack? It looks exactly like a Manfrotto one but cheaper. How is the quality? Do you think I can fit both the controller and a full size DSLR like 5D Mark III and a short lens in that top compartment?
I am actually quite impressed with the quality. Not the highest but far from the lowest. The seams on the straps were a concern on any lower cost case but these are done well and have some reinforcing too.
I think you could easily add a DSLR and and a short lens in there. If nothing else you could pop the lens in one of the other spaces too.
Here is what I have packed in it so far with some room to spare;
P3P, two batteries, 8 props, charger for P3P, P3P controller, iPad mini 3 cellular, MacBook Air 13", 15" Dell, various cables for all these devices and their chargers for them all plus selfie stick, The size, quality and capacity have impressed me. I have been agonizing for weeks before even buying the P3P as to what case and got it off Amazon.

You're welcome. Be aware of how to place the Phantom inside. It goes motors to the part that touches the back and gimbal towards what is the bottom of the bag. The strap that secures the quad goes over the VPS sensors.
Thoughts on hard shell backpack/case vs soft backpack? Just ordered my P3A and want a case. Problem is, my fiancé would rather me keep the costs low as that was a stretch as it was. I saw some soft backpacks for $50 on Amazon but wasn't sure if I should look for hard suitcase instead.
