Pelican is the go-to, but I've also been impressed with Nanuk.
If you can, putting the gun case inside a suitcase or other checked bag is ideal. That way you can lock the gun case with a non-TSA lock and put the declaration form in one of those clear 'fed-ex' envelopes on the outside. I usually just use a big rubber band, but you can tape it on as well.
That way they only have to deal with the TSA lock on your suitcase and will see the declaration before cutting the good locks you have on your case.
Not a problem with a good case, but if you use a plastic case, you may need a lock at each corner. Again, the gun case itself CANNOT (by law) use a TSA lock.
BTW, are you aware that you can legally ship a gun to yourself 'in care of'? It doesn't have to go to an FFL or anything, although I don't know how it would be handled in a state like CA where you have to register everything.
