Im really torn between a backpack an a cheap hard case for $50 or so. I feel that the backpack would be easier to bring around.
Where did you guys get the foam insert?

I did same yesterday. Bought a bag from Jimmys and kaizen foam from Amazon. Total cost 93$. Exactly same with gopro backpacks.I got this one http://www.jimmysoutdoors.com/content.cfm?n=products&id=20219 it comes in 3 colours and is very similar, if not the same as the go professional case for a fraction of the price. You will have to DIY the foam insert.

I got the Seahorse hard case for $100, but you have to "pluck" it yourself. There's 2 different latch models. This one uses keys (which I don't use anyway), and it's around $30 cheaper than the other one that is keyless. I rarely fly so I wasn't concerned about carry on size. In getting the link I see these are temp. out of stock, maybe they will have more soon.

That's what I'm using too. Like you, I modified it a bit for the landed gear and I eased the area around the arms for a slightly easier fit. I asked the GPC folks if they would sell just the foam insert for the P3, and they said they would:
Hello Joe, the foam sets will be available to purchase for $70 plus shipping. Please email us in about 10 days and send photos of your backpack to confirm it is a GPC backpack and we can place the order. Thank you
That was June 2nd. I need to be on the road with it this week, so I just decided to modify the foam.
I've been wanting to get the Pelican 1510 myself--something that I could carry-on; however, according to the description on Amazon, the interior dimensions are 19.75" W x 11.00" H x 7.60"D. Isn't that too small for the Phantom 3, which seems to be over 11-1/2" in width (with props off)?
The one i use is ideal, £99 in UK, it even holds my Nvidia Shield and Launch pad. See my review. http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/pv2-backpack-fits-p3-perfectly.40535/#post-390490
I guarantee it fits, the phantom must be slightly less than 11" because that's the dims on pelicans site also. I'll be adding 4 battery holes between the arms so I'll be able to haul 5 batteries. I think the P3 fits better than my P2 V+.
Good to know, Apparition. Guess the specs on the case are showing less than it actually is--unless my ruler is off when measuring my own P3Pro.I guarantee it fits, the phantom must be slightly less than 11" because that's the dims on pelicans site also. I'll be adding 4 battery holes between the arms so I'll be able to haul 5 batteries. I think the P3 fits better than my P2 V+.
Just Ordered from our Friends Travis & Mike and the rest of the Team at www.advexure.com , I had the Back Pack on order but after careful consideration of my situation it would not fit my special needs.

Just got back from a flight and measured it the 1510 is about 11 3/8" plastic to plastic, the P3 will just barely rub on both sides. I think they give dimensions with ~1/4" foam all around. It'll work.
Here is my thread/review. I love it, been about 3/4 weeks and no complaints. More than enough room for everything and some extra batteries, even has space for my hero4 with accessories and a tripod!

Wow...super low. I might have to get one as well. Anyone try fitting a tablet in a bag like this in the Velcro pocket?
