5.0 out of 5 stars Typical Pelican Quality - Awesome Amazon.com price!, February 24, 2011

This review is from: Pelican 1470-000-110 1470 Case (Electronics)

I purchased this Pelican case to store and transport handguns. There is sufficient room and padding to allow for 2 compact semi-automatics and 4 10rd magazines. The amount of flotation this case provides is more than sufficient to keep the above contents from sinking. The pick and pull foam insert allows for easy customization and this can be fine tuned with a razor blade as needed. The grip is excellent and works almost as well when it's wet than dry.

As with every Pelican case I've owned the pet peeves of the design and operation are overshadowed by the performance of the case itself. My main gripe is to un-latch and open the case still requires you to press down (with effort) on the lid. This makes normal 1-handed opening of the case almost impossible. Opening is made more difficult if the item inside the case is slightly too large and is exerting force on the two halves. If you have weak fingers or bad wrists this case latch design might require some practice or special technique to make opening both feasible and less painful. The written Pelican Lifetime Warranty says that "heat" related damage is not covered. And Pelican isn't talking about fire damage... anything above "normal" temps (what is normal?) may be grounds to possibly void the warranty. I have from time to time locked cases up in a car, storage facility, Sea/Land container, etc. and they do get extremely hot. I did manage to warp one case a few years ago but was able to fix it by getting the case back up to elevated temps and then tweaking it back into shape by hand.

Amazon's delivered price was the best I could find. The item arrived in excellent condition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Item sent was not item pictured, November 5, 2011

This review is from: Pelican 1470-000-110 1470 Case (Electronics)

The item I received, the Pelican 1470, is great, but at the time I ordered this item I did not know what the features of the standard Pelican 1470 included. I purchased this product because of the picture and the description, thinking that it included all the padded dividers. When I received this item, there were no dividers, just a solid piece of foam that could be modified to accommodate anything that would fit into the case. The picture that was displayed was for the Pelican 1490CC1, but I did not know that until further research after being dissatisfied with the product I received. The 1-star review is not for the product itself, but for the customer service I received when trying to remedy this situation. I was told that I could send the case back to Amazon, and they would exchange it for the same item and maybe it would be like the pictured item. When I mentioned that the case in the picture was not the same model as the one I received and that I wanted the item that was pictured, I was told that the only thing I could do was send the case back to Amazon for a refund.

I would discourage anyone interested in buying a Pelican Case from purchasing it from Amazon. They have multiple listings for the same case, all with different pictures. There are many other sites on the internet that sell the same items at a price very close to or equal that of Amazon's prices.
