When I first tried stuffing the Mavic and the controller into its carrying case, I was worried about bending or breaking a prop, its a very tight fit. My solution was to place the drone in a gallon size plastic zip lock storage bag and the controller in a half gallon size plastic zip lock bag. Now both drone and controller slip in and out easily, no blade damage possible and they are totally waterproof. I also fashioned a small piece of wood with 2 holes to place over the controllers control sticks, now they stay in their upright position while stuffed into the carrying case.
