Help?? Rolling Luggage for Multiple iPads

Question

Help?? Rolling Luggage for Multiple iPads

I am a retired teacher with a big (literally) and creative need. I have a ministry to the mental ill at the state mental hospital in Denver. When I go there to give them a chance to use technology, I bring 6 iPads, my MacBook Air, a Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker, a Brookstone mini high-def projector, and a Seagate Wireless Plus portable drive. I bought a high end Swiss Gear technology backpack, but to take everything, it actually ends up taking two backpacks. Heavy, Heavy, Heavy. More than 150 lbs. It made my rolling carrier collapse. While I am a retired teacher, not rich, iPads donated, I will spend money if a rolling solution exists. Magellan has something close, but when I look up rolling luggage for technology, I just get high tech luggage, GPS enabled, luggage that charges your gear, but nothing that holds a lot of gear safely. If anyone has seen anything that might fulfill my needs, I would be more than appreciative hearing about it. Thanx very much.

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

If you're looking for a cart, try this one:

I've used the lower-end model for years lugging all sort of computer equipment and through lots of abuse it's never failed me. The 800 can tote up to 300 pounds.

If you want a wheeled case, you're looking at something pretty expensive, I fear. One of the cases from Anvil:

or one of the similar manufacturers, with the foam cut out to fit your gear would work, but it might well be more than you can afford and too heavy to lug, at least in a car. Anvil's the top of the line, so perhaps one of the cases from either of these folks would work:

I haven't found anything else other than the wheeled luggage. Perhaps someone else will have a better idea.

Regards.

There's also this:

Bretford manufactures cases and carts specifically for Apple devices. This roller will safely store your iPads, and you can charge and sync them through it as well.

Hi Bruce,

I don't have an exact model number, but we use Pelican rolling cases to transport iPads and laptops. They are lightweight and very protective with foam interior. Here's one model that's similar to what we use: http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1620-Case-Camera-Black/dp/B001CY652K/ref=pd_sim_sg _5

You might want to give Pelican a call to see if they can tell you a specific model that will work for you.

Hope this helps!
