Portable Case recommendations?

I'm looking at upgrading my case from the NZXT S340 although a great case it's a little on the heavy side and not really ment to be moved around. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for cases with handles or just easier portability in general.

My motherboard is the MSI Z97 G45 ATX 1150

You only linked the parts list page, not your actual list you made. 

 

I'd get a BitFenix Prodigy (M) or Corsair 380T, not sure on what they can fit, but I think they are pretty damn good.

Prodigy M = no

 

I've heard it has terrible cable management

Yeah they are both Mini-ITX cases, so your G45 won't fit in either. 

I'm not sure on any portable cases that support ATX motherboards, surely you could make something with Case Labs, but the premium you pay for them is pretty large. 

How about a Lian Li PC-A05FNB?

Just posting out of knowledge that it exists and is/was widely popular in the Mini-ITX form, I haven't looked into it's features and such.
