A small pelican (1000 or 2000 series) that many use to store their handguns.

Pelicans and there are some others but that type of case that seals well are tough. I have quite a few and even though the Go Pro is (waterproof) they are good cases for storage and shock protection. Just make sure like the Pelican they are rigid. Some cases are not and can crush the contents if hit, squashed or otherwise abused.
I have used mostly Pelican for years back and forth to the boat and on open boats and so far nothing has been damaged.
I buy those and most photography equipment here but shop hard and find deals, Amazon is good too.

I noticed the other day Sports Authority carries some sizes if you want to feely touch them before buying.
You can get them with "pick and pluck" pre cut squares of foam or blank foam and do your own cutting. Think about it hard before plucking.
B&H and others also carry replacement foam.

I get pelican cases for free sometimes so I usually just use them. I have a small pelican I bought years ago for a digital camera but I need to get a "medium" sized one for the gopro

I should add, I'm talking about the heavy duty black molded ones.
I have bought several of the clear top plastic ones and the latches break before long.

Pelican cases are the best! i have one for my dslr and i could drop the case and run it over and my camera would be fine!

So the case is pretty sweet. It holds 1 camera and a bunch of accessories. As kyle says, its not built to be run over like a pelican.

The only downside i see is that the cut out for the camera and housing is specifically designed for the hero 2, the only issue with that is that there is no specific groove for the side wifi button the hero 3. Its really not a big deal, because its a small button and foam so you can just wiggle it in there

List of contents include:
1 Hero3 with case
sd card
battery bac pac and backdoor
2 sticky mount
1 suction cup mount
1 head srap
1 handlebar/roll bar mount
1 go pole grippy
1 wifi remote
cables
and other stuff
