I was leery at first, to trust the soft sided Tenba Roadshow computer and monitor cases.  We had been using an anvil style case from Jan-Al for Image Mechanics out of town capture jobs.  There is no question that the gear is protected in a hard sided enclosure.  It's designed for a G5 computer with a 23" Cinema display with a small compartment for a few accessories.  A pop up luggage handle and skate type wheels make the old Jan-Al easy to maneuver once you get it rolling.  Lifting it however, is a two person job and because it weighs just under 100 lbs fully loaded, the airlines say it is "their discretion" if it makes it onto the plane.  Another downside to this type of case is that once you arrive at your destination, you have to find a van cab because it won't fit into a regular taxi.  That is the biggest reason we started using the Roadshow cases for air travel.  The computer and monitor are in separate soft sided cases that can fit into most cabs.

These cases are really tough and can handle not only the daily grind of a different locations but they totally rock for air travel. We've used them since January and they've logged enough air miles to qualify for Platinum status on American Airlines.  They have held up great.  Our studio cat Emmy, has even used them as scratching posts and they still look brand new.

The Air Cases are strong enough to stand on, even when empty.  We don't find many occasions to stand on them but they easily serve double duty on the road as a bench to sit on during the shoot.  

Pictures and specs straight from the Tenba web site:

"Tenba's patented Air Case™ construction comprises a multi-layered skeleton of air-channeled plastic panels, high-density foam, and specially-molded framing components, with a heavily reinforced ballistic nylon outer shell providing the protection of a hard-sided case at a fraction of the weight. Air Cases are strong enough to stand on, even when empty, and are built to meet or exceed ATA shipping standards. An internal framework of foam inserts has been custom fitted to hold the equipment more safely and securely than the original equipment shipping carton."
