I use blue masking tape, the kind you use when you're painting, and a sharpie. I've never had any issues with the tape coming off even after copious gig schleppage...and I play 150-200 shows/year.

The attachment 238444_sk_lg.jpg is no longer available
I think I was able to buy a box of 100 for about $6.00 (Office Depot online has boxes of 1,000(!) but I am sure that they come in smaller quantities). No sticky residue, no worries that they might fall off.
+1
I use the smaller white ones ...

Just get some really big stencils and some red glossy spray paint, dont really worry about overspray because its just a case, then...........................
Seriously, I use the label maker idea. I stand my cases verticaly, and put the label on the end of the case. That way you can just walk up, look down and you'll know.
