Recently I was flying and several people saw my drone case and asked many questions and suggested that I post a video on it. So here it is. Hope it helps someone.
Background:
My primary reason for making it was that I wasted a lot of time setting up the remote. Additionally having the phone above the remote was much better than the DJI location. Unfortunately hooking everything up took a long time. With the phone above the remote adding a simple homemade sun shade works great in conjunction with the phone now being at a greater angle.
I also have a dedicated phone so the phone remains with the controller.
With this case I can simply release the sides of the sunshade and place it into the case and go.
The perimeter of the case is metal covered with fabric outside and neoprene foam on the inside. The top and bottom are soft sided. As long as on object larger than the case is placed over the top nothing inside will get crushed.
Total weight as packed in attached video if about 10 lbs.
It also works as a takeoff/landing pad when the site is not suitable.
