As usual GPC cases are first rate. I ordered a Spark compact case from B&H which came today. $49 with free shipping.
I don't think I ever got so much for $49 within the last 10 years! The build, fit and finish is impeccable.
I don't care for the case that Spark comes with because there is no place for the RC, no handle and it is a bit difficult to open.
[I am glad that DJI included something and didn't devote more of the cost to a fancier case. It was a suitable shipping vessel.]
I got the Fly More combo which came with a bag (Man Purse?) which I will probably sell on eBay to someone who would use it.
The GPC holds everything that I want it to.
3 batteries (1 in the bird), RC, Spare props. There is a slot for tablet and a few other cubbies too.

The propellers look to be above the foam instead of even or below. Does the foam in the lid make contact with the props? If so, would the props become deformed after more than a few days of storage.

To me it looks like the props sit flush with the foam surrounding the spark. The foam in the lid is also quite soft and deforms very easily. I would say there would be no concerns with storing the spark in that case for a few days at a time.

If you know you are going to be storing the spark for an extended time you could always take the props off altogether and use some motor guards.

The props sit flush with the blue top layer of the bottom foam. I am not worried that the top foam will distort them. This design appears to be well thought through.

GPC also has a slightly larger case for the Spark with slots for four batteries, all the charging stuff and an extra cubby I can put the four prop guards in...they stick out a little but the soft foam in the lid conforms quite easily with little or no stress to the prop guards.

To make it even better.. I sold the case and shoulder bag that came with the spark on ebay for $20, so the GPC case ended up costing $29.00!!
