I've used the Iron Case...worked fine. A few improvement areas:

1) Many loose straps when closed...I tried tapping them down; they could get caught in luggage conveyers
2) Need a real handle for rolling around...the strap really doesn't work well.

I went to my local bike shop and picked up a couple of bike boxes for free. Cut them down to size (to suit) and taped them up with Gaffa tape. Put some straps around it. Cheap and perfect.

If you're really paranoid - put one box inside the other.

i ordered Elite bike travel case from Europe since it is not available in US and should receive it in a few days.
Just did not feel too comfortable with a paper box so i spent some extra $ on Elite and think i will be happy with it and my expensive titanium Litespeed deserves this case (see the attached pic.).
