@endforeach
and js
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#checkAll").change(function () {
$("input:checkbox").prop('checked', $(this).prop("checked"));

The Eloquent find method actually supports passing it an array. You could easily do something like this to your destroy method in your controller:
public function destroy($id)
{
Case::find(explode(',', $id))->delete();
}
Then send a HTTP DELETE /case/1,2,4,8,16 and it will delete the lot. You got to love Eloquent sometimes :)
You can even do it easier then that
// You can pass in a single id, or an array of ids. Both work ;)
public function destroy($ids)
{
Case::destroy($ids);
}

You may still need to explode the $ids passed in through the controller method parameter with @bobbybouwmann solution as you can't pass arrays list this to my knowledge.
