What flight bag/case do you carry?

So I start ground school for a 135 op pretty soon flying a Caravan and all I have right now is my B6 flight bag. My only concern is that my bag is just about full with a kneeboard, Ipad, headset and logbook with some other small miscellaneous stuff. If I have to carry anything more than a checklist or something small I'm out of room. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
I used a Brightline B10, but with the bigger center section. It carried all of the stuff that you listed (minus the logbook...never carried that), plus 2 jeep binders, airplane SOP's, company GOM, and a full change of clothes (non-uniform). Nice bag, can adjust the size as needed, and lifetime warranty.

There is a lot of stuff to carry when flying part 135 (at least at most places - cargo). GOM, SOP's, HAZMAT book, and other paperwork.
 
I just use the following that easily clips on to my Purdy Neat bag since I don't have any manuals to carry any more

I have a luggage works duffel that I throw my headset, EFB, and sunglasses in. All manuals/charts are either in the EFB or on the airplane.
 
I carry the milspec D558-2 anodized Tactical Battlebag from Sporty's <tm>. It has dual PilotSexFire pouches and is made from 100% Dixienormous textile, which is the new Nomex and what the Navy SEALs use for all of THEIR flight bags. It's a great deal at just $199.99.

No hey I'm kidding. I have a backpack that I carry my laptop around in, does that count?

When I was on the Brasilia, I carried this: http://www.strongbags.com/the-summit.html . It held the headset, the trip binder, the diversion brick (I split my charts up into "I use these, vs. I don't use these"), the SOP/FOM, and my laptop and bag of chargers very well. I snagged it on sale. One thing is that it was sort of unwieldy for flying locals and schlepping without the rollaboard.

For the new ride, I have a Timbuktu messenger bag. Holds laptop, tablet, headset. Might carry the Summit with a cooler insert instead; undecided.

You can take the logbook out.
A friendly word of advice: don't carry it with you unless you have to. One, I am terrified of losing it; two, you don't NEED to show it to anyone anymore without advance notice. ;)
