First off welcome.

If you can give us a little more information you will get better quality and more responses. What length is your barrel? Do you need something to just to go back and forth to the range or a hard case to travel with? Also like most things AR the pricing is all over the place so it helps to say if you are on a budget or want the absolute best.

Also take a look at the first 2-3 pages of posts and you might find a thread with just the info you are looking for.

And the most important thing to remember is to never pass up the opportunity to post a picture of your AR.

I like the Blackhawk case for longer guns. It has a divider so you can put two ARs in it side by side. It is 44".  Here is a link to Blackhawks web site.

I am partial to American made goods.  Check out Eagle, Tactical Assault Gear and Tactical Tailor.

I am going with an LE Eagle case for my AR, great mix of features with a lifetime warranty.  On top of that, 100% made in the USA.

Galati International discreet case, $125.00.  I have one for my 20" AR, and it's very well built and padded, with plenty of storage.

One other piece of advice, think about what you want from your case.  MOLLE or Velcro i nthe front for accessories?  Velcro tie-downs for your gun?  Fixed tie-downs or moveable?  Does a padded zipper matter?

There are a few things to consider...

I'd like to get in on this piece of advice too, not to threadjack but
Good case for M4 w/bunch of add-on goodies
-room for mags.
-need one with the external velcro for military nametapes,
-preferably soft.

I've looked at cheaperthandirt.com
                   sportsmansguide.com
                   Brownells.com
                   Blackhawk.com

Whats best for tactical, range work, and ease of use.
What are the Black Rifle guru's using?

I will be using the Eagle Discreet LE as soon as I can find one in stock.  A user posted a review here: ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=19&t=361391

I will likely get it modded to include loops to strap my gun in, but we will see how tight a fit I get without it.  The reasons I like it are:
    -  Eagle has a great reputation for quality
    -  USA Made
    -  Lifetime Warranty
    -  Molle Loops in the front panel
    -  Includes several mag pouches
