So i am planning on building a mini itx build which i can unplug and bring with me wherever i go. the only problem i have is deciding on which cases to go with, the corsair 380t ($110) because of its handle and small height.

I was also considiring the bitfenix prodigy ($80) because i could add straps and carry it like a backpack, also its a lot cheaper.

Huh? I don't think that would be a good idea....

 

The prodigy already has handles for the express purpose of easily beaing able to transport. 

 

As for your broader question, I like the aesthetics of the 380T, so it has my vote, but both are solid choices. 

Aesthetics of rigs matter

Id recommend the rosewill legacy u2 as it fits in most backpacks

the downsides to that case is that it only accepts mini itx graphic cards (220MM or smaller) and cable management is a nightmare.

yea im using a gtx 970 so that isnt really an option

why not, i could just wrap straps around it and they wouldnt slide off because of the built in handles, but what do you think
