maybe something a little bit smaller.

but if anyone has ideas let me know. i like something with lots of little internal padded pockets.

for the money you might want to look at the Lowepro series of bags http://products.lowepro.com/catalog/Camera,20.htm

Petrol bags are my favorite.

The only thing I don't like about petrols are the clear covers, they don't make a complete seal all the way around.  They only velcro at the top and bottom, otherwise they are alomst perfect for what we do.  I have a 3 shelf sonicase which to me is awesome.  I wish I would have purchased the 4 shelf, but i like how the bag seals up compared to the others on the market, its large enough for what I need and with a little organizational skill you would be amazed what I get in my 3 shelf bag.  I agree with others as well Lowpro's are nice too.  I have a buddy who uses Lowpro and loves them...

PortaBrace makes some real nice bags too, although the prices have been climbing up on them the last few years and they've instilled MAP Pricing now too so deals are difficult to find.

QFT and is why I went with the Kata Sundo-1. FWIW, I think it's hands down better for what we do than anything made by PortaBrace, Petrol, Gator, etc. Not many bags audio bags are designed like the Sundo.

I, also, have the Kata Sundo-1 and would recommend it.  See through top that zips up.  I little more expensive then I remember, but I bought mine 5 years ago.

x3 on the Sundo.  The bag is not cheap, but it is fantastic for what we do.  Easy to rearrange dividers and very, very waterproof. I have used mine in a downpour with a trash bag to keep the base from getting wet and had no issues.  100% sealed top with clear panel for viewing.  I would never get rid of mine.

I tried portabrace, kata, petrol, and nothing worked for me with the Mytek like the LowePro magnum 200

I have a Soniccase for my taping gear and love it.  I also bought a Crumpler bag for my photo kit and love that too ( it's waterproof). I think that a Crumpler may work for your application because they have lots of adjustable padded dividers for holding stuff of odd sizes.

X2 on the Lowepro.  Get a used Nova 4 AW.

If memory serves me correct, your Kata (while full of gear) also took the full brunt of a spilled Cosmopolitan without a single leak.   Amazing bags.

That said, if Kata isn't in your budget I'd fully echo the recommendation for Lowepro bags.  Love mine and it's great for my needs.

I have three Crumpler bags and they are great.  Truly waterproof (even in the Netherlands) and really well made.  I use one, a small camera bag, for my small set-up (the other two are a laptop bag, which is excellent, and a commuter bag).  I am searching for a bigger taping bag and have kind of considered going with Crumpler again, but I like the looks and features of some of the real audio bags.  Kind of hard to get an impression of size from the web, though.  That SunDo-1, for example, looks awesome but I get the impression it is quite large?  I couldn't find exterior dimensions listed anywhere...

Are sonicases only available used nowadays?
