Product Description

Color: Silver | Size: 1450 with Foam

Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the completion. You can tell its a Pelican case by the distinctive "twin-ribbed" top surface. Stainless steel pins are used for hinges and handles. The new Double-Throw latches are much easier to open.

This review is from: Pelican 1500 Case with Foam for Camera (Black) (Camera)

Just an FYI: The picture Amazon is showing with wheels and a handle is incorrect. The Pelican 1510 "Carry On Case" is the case they have pictured here.

Pelican cases are great. We use them at the company I work at to ship computers around. They have never let us down.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but with basic faults., January 17, 2010

This review is from: Pelican 1200 Case with Foam for Camera (Black) (Camera)

I have owned a Pelican case for years. I cannot figure out why the O-ring is in the lid, and so flops loose when one tries to close the case. We replace the ring every year with an official Pelican O-ring, and it is always the same. Gravity just drops the ring out. It usually takes several tries to get the thing closed.

Second flaw is that the two snap closers are extremely tight in closing and in opening. I bang them with my fist to close them, and yank with all four fingers to get each one open. The sudden snap sends one's hand into sharp parts of the case, causing minor injuries (cuts).

I really think that simple engineering could make a better design. There is no reason that the O-ring should not fit in place by its own friction.

The boxes are mostly waterproof, but we tested ours several times, and found that some water did get in if the case was dropped into the water.

The O-ring must be new every year, and must be well greased with silicon grease. Warning: silicon grease is not generally available in back areas. Look in professional plumbing stores in urban regions. Be sure to test your case with weights equivalent to the items you wish to carry in it, to make sure that it will float if it goes overboard. For marine purposes, you need a brightly-colored case. A modest green or black one will likely be lost as soon as it goes into the water.

In spite of these defects, I have used my Pelican case to protect camera equipment when going by boat to remote islands. When you are on a small boat, you should pretty much assume that things will be receiving spray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Water proof professional vault for whatever you carry, February 5, 2010

Water proof professional vault for whatever you carry

I have used Pelican products since 1992 and they are all built to professional grade. They are solid and build with no compromise.

put your Ipod, camera, family gems in her while your on the boat, traveling thru airport or on the beach in maui.

EITHER WAY, they are dry and protected from sand and the elements. You can throw them down stairs if you properly use the foam provided to brace the items. Stand on it its rated to allow a car to drive over it.

THIS IS the last box you will buy! It has a 2 holes on the outside handle to lock it or to clip a lanyard to make it easier to carry.
