I am going to get a case. And want a back pack I think it will just be the best for my lifestyle.
I have 2000+ points with a flyer and 2 large tanks. I did not name my army on purpose because that is not important. I just want the most bang for my buck.

2000+ points of what?
2000pts of Imperial Guard with 2 large tanks os going to be very different to 2000pts of Space Marines with 2 large tanks is going to be very different to 2000pts of Orks with 2 large tanks is going to be very diff...
We really would need to know the army. I'd actually say anything other than Space Marines at 2000pts with vehicles would have problems with a backpack style case.

Agreed. Not knowing the army composition makes it difficult, and needing a backpack makes it near impossible. That being said, there is an article listing most of the manufacturers of hobby cases. http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Model_Case_Reviews_and_Recommendations Also, it's spelt 'miniature'. (^^ and spelt is spelt spelt, not spelled )

Well done on the spelling on miniature, that gave just the laugh I needed at work this morning.
To the topic I would suggest looking at a KR case. I have just got another one for my IG that will hold a Valkeryie and 4 tanks plus about 20-30 infantry. True that's not 2000 points but gives you an idea of what their single cases (card or aluminium) will hold - that could well be big enough for a chaos force.
The retail at £30 which will be less than US$50 I think.
If you need more space KR sell a real nice backpack that hold two cases. I have one and it's suprisingly compact.
You might find KR's website a bit confusing but if you bear with it they have some nice product.
Others may well recommend Battlefoam, they're nice and tick the aesthetic box more but you pay a premium for them.

I do like my KR backpack.
I fit 2 of their model cases in it, which is usually around 1500 points, with lots of space for more.
Swapping the cases is simple, as I sort my models by type. With Terminators and Land Raider in one box, with my main force in another. If I want my scouts, I either swap out the Termies box, or take a shoulder bag with the 3rd box.
It fits the mini-BRB, with codices, lists and FAQs in the big pocket, with dice and tape measure in one side pocket, and markers and spare dice in the other. Templates go in the small front pocket with my glue.
Apart from a material failure around one of the handles 18 months after buying it (which they're swapping out for a new bag), it's been perfect.
KR often give away cases at shows, so look for that.
It's been part of their most common offers, too. Check the website.

The hell is a minicher? Like a Cher bobble head? Or Cher's version of Mini Me?
I use Sabol cases currently, should money allow it I'll end up switching to the magnetized hard cases from a company I can't remember at the moment (totalwargamer?).
