5.0 out of 5 stars Great Customizable Hard Case, September 8, 2008

By	CFH "chillnhill" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

We have been using the "Opteka X-Large Pro Aluminum Hard Case" for several years now and it has held up amazingly well. Most importantly, it has absorbed a lot damage that would have likely destroyed my Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom. Here are my observations:

* Very roomy - easily holds my very large camera, charger, remote control, studio headphones, wireless microphones and receiver, blank tapes, and video light.

* Easy to customize - the pull apart foam allows for making the exact shapes you want. Be sure that lay your components out first and that you leave padding between the cavities because once you take away the padding, you can't add it back.

* Very strong and solid - this case has been kicked, dropped, stepped on, sat on, and banged into corners and walls without so much as a noticeable dent.

Overall, I am very pleased and would buy another one again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Case, July 17, 2007

By	R. Ownbey "brightdrum" (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a nice case for keeping your equipment safe. It can be used for just about any camera large or small and has a professional look to it. Can hold more than one small camera. Great for the price. Costs more if store bought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Looking Case for Your Camera, March 25, 2009

By	M. Hanlen (York, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this case for a Canon GL1, a wide angle lens, a few batteries, and it's charger. And there's still room to spare. The exterior of the case looks great, and it seems well made. I would have given it a 5-Star review if it weren't for the somewhat flimsy foam inside. If you often store your camera case the way it's shown in the picture and have a heavier camera, you need to leave quite a bit of foam around the camera for support. Because there is quite a bit of room inside, you may be tempted to remove a lot of the foam to make several pockets. This may be disadvantageous because it will weaken the foam support around the main camera, and after a while thinner rows of foam will break free and not hold the camera in place. Make sure you plan accordingly before you remove the foam. I would recommend storing the camera closer to the hinges rather than the handle, so it doesn't put a weight strain on the weaker foam in the middle.
