For those of you with these cases, here are some photos of how I have attached a strap to it for carrying around on my shoulder.
The strap you can see in the last one is from an old laptop bag.
I purchased some screw in eyelets and have mounted these to the front corners in about the middle of the case so it is balanced to carry with the lid towards me.

Thanks for the review. So cheap that I couldn't resist picking one up myself - had to call a few Bunnies until I found one with stock.
However, bit disappointed that they're aren't just a little bit bigger... 10cm extra in each direction would mean I could fit all my kit in one box... as it is, no chance. Nevertheless, will be useful for transporting on those occasions when the going might get rough.
i got mine today in the toolbox section of bunnings, i rang them they said they had none went in and looked in the toolbox section and they had about 12 of them!!!! so better to look yourself now i just need to mark it out and cut out. i wanted mine so i can have my large lens on my camera and as it is always in the dual cab on the red dust farm it will keep some dust out of my camera
I went to bunnings today was about to get a few of these cases and found a ton of them at Ashfield Bunnings. There is a whole pallet load of them in front of the power tools section.
About the item. I was disappointed at the size of it though. I thought it was bigger and deeper. I mistook it for another yellow case I used before and thought it was the same thing. Turns out that was actually a branded Storm case. Very Very similar including the colour as well!.

i use mainly two lenses on the farm so all is good for me as often my large lens needs to be on the camera so mine is all good and a lot better than just sitting on the seat
and after an hour of tetris...
Hmmm I think I might check out the local Bunnings tomorrow too!
Although I can just see everyone turning up at some of the AP meets....hmmm now which one of those is mine?
Attitude is everything!
Cheers, Paul

Exactly....I dont think they serve any purpose except if travelling to avoid damage by rough baggage handlers. Leaving the kit in the car is not someting I'd advise...unless you want your car broken into and gear stolen. Better idea to take only what you want on any one day and carry it with you....never leave it in the car.
Cheers!

i thought maybe stickers on mine and i use mine to stop dust in the 4wd on the farm with my bird lens on
Well, much to my surprise, I managed to fit pretty much my entire kit into the Craftright...
Bit of shoe-horning required, but managed to fit:
1 x body
6 x lenses plus lens hoods, including a 70-200
1 x 1.4 teleconverter
1 x 580EX2 flash
2 x spare batteries for body and 4 x spare rechargeable AA eneloops for flash
1 x silica humidity absorber
Anyone manage to fit in more kit?! Maybe we can have a 'weigh-off'
Trying to decide whether to use the second pick&pluck layer. Probably doesn't need it, everything is pretty snug and clamped when the lid goes down. Maybe just save it for future use, should I require some re-arranging.
Oh, btw, did anyone else's craftright sticker fall off after about 3 secs...? Looks better without...
