I have a Pelican 1550 that I have used as a camera case for 4 years. I bout the Pelican 1450 to use as a trunk on my motorcycle. Size is perfect, finish is tough, and it's lockable.

Fantastic case, I would suggest to freeze the foam in (freezer) do not put in water though, when cutting for components you really need a hot wire foam cutter, very difficult to remove squares from section 'evenly without a mess, need some type art & craft skills, should practice on some type of discarded foam.

Purchased the case to hold a 1911 and a dozen magazines. The case has taken several falls off the back of the truck and bounced around the truck bed with other stuff. The problem is I had to tear the foam block part of the way down since the gun is just over an inch thick. It would be better if the foam was in 1" layers to make it more universial for different aplications.

I bought this to protect my $2300 fish finder. It works great for this to make sure it's protected...

Pros:  Nearly Everything
Cons:  Weight
Would recommend:  yes

A great case to purchase if you want protection for your harddrive, camera, other fragile equipment...The handle has a nice rubber grip lining and swings to adjust to your body movement. The case is a bit heavy but only because of its size and the contents you put inside. A heavy case means a safe case.

I bought this case for my new DSLR and it works great. I love the "You break it, we replace it, guarantee".

CHRISTMAS GIFT SPOILER!! Unfortunately, my husband got home before I did on the day that this arrived. I had a bad feeling about it and had tried to have the package re-routed before I received a shipping notice. It had already shipped by the time Optics Planet got my message. I was worried about the Optics Planet name stirring his curiousity. NEVER did I dream that this package would arrive with Pelican written ALL OVER IT as well as a GIANT PICTURE of what the item is on the box. I wish I could post a picture of this box, it's that bad. I'm upset, my husband is upset. This was supposed to be his "big" gift. Christmas is a big deal for us and this was a big let down. So, if you're buying this as a gift, don't have it shipped to your house.

Pros:  Sturdy design, looks great!
Cons:  Latches are hard to close, kind of loud. But that's where the tight seal comes from..
Would recommend:  yes

Pelican cases, any size, any color, are the best cases money can buy. You can literally run them over with a truck and your equipment will survive... I've seen it done, don't ask. :)

Quite possibly the best case ever made. This case could not be any more sturdy. I plan on buying several more for all of my other photography equipment.
