Xbox 360 Carrying Case Dilemma

I’m headed out of town next week and I’m going to have some down time while I’m at the In-laws. So, I was thinking of taking my Xbox 360 with me, but if I’m going to fly with my Xbox 360 I’m going to need a good carrying case for my $400 toy. I started looking around for a decent carrying case and apparently there are really only two Xbox 360 carrying cases available. The first is a messenger bag that looks like it does not have very much padding. This would be ok for taking over to a friends house, but not for running through an airport and taking on a plane. The second is a hard metal case that I can’t imagine they will let me take through security. Even if they did, it would not be that fun to have it banging into my shins for the whole flight.

For my origional Xbox I had a nice carrying case that had firm sides. It had a panel on the bottom so you did not even have to take the Xbox out to use it. You just opened the panel and plugged the cables in while it was still in the case.

Why isn’t there a Xbox 360 case like this? My guess is that no one can figure out what to do with the 360’s Power Brick. I sure hope they figure it out soon because 2 weeks without any video games is going to suck. Especially since Crackdown comes out while I’m traveling.

If anyone knows of any other quality Xbox 360 carrying cases let me know. Thanks.
