I like the rothco bags you can get on amazon.
They're cheap, and unlike the HF "voyager" bags they are pretty well made, cotton canvas with thick zippers. I much prefer cotton, way more durable than the thin nylon and won't separate at the seams. I've been using this one for my work tools for ages and it's not ripped at all. Plus you can throw them in the wash to clean them.
This one is compact and pretty sturdy:

I use mine for T&M equipment
I take a tool bag in the plane and I always put the tool back in the bag and never leave them laying elsewhere. Tool inventory before going in and after leaving will help like /u/ruminatingroy said.
I bought a Rothco ammo bag from Amazon and it works really well for 1 headset, logs, and iPad. I'd imagine a larger size might do the trick. I think mine was like 13 bucks when I got it.
Edit: Actually the Mechanics Bag, not Ammo Bag
My techs and I all use these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BFJE8S/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_1?qid=1422355845&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
They are rugged and just the right size for our cable termination tools, screwdrivers and fluke toner/tester. They are available in different colors and there are bigger sizes.
