It all began in 1976 with a hundred feet of twine around a hockey stick handle and a metal weight to serve as a mini anchor. Fashioned by scuba enthusiast Dave Parker in his garage in Torrance, CA, this innovative safety tool was designed to bob on the water’s surface to mark locations for divers. Dave dubbed his brainchild the “Pelican Float.” He devised this gadget because he knew it had the potential to save lives. He was right. Eager to expand upon his vision, Dave was soon hard at work designing his next product: a superior first-aid kit for divers. The cases were rugged, durable, and built to keep the contents stored inside safely protected from water and dust. The product was a hit with divers and others who tossed out the first-aid supplies and used the case to protect other valuables.

I would give this 5 stars, if not for the one flaw that this case does have. This case is rock solid and as advertised in terms of protecting your valuable products.The Good:I bought this to protect my $600 video camera and accessories on a cross country road trip in which we spent a lot of time outdoors in all the National Parks. The road trip was 12,000 miles and 8 weeks long and the pelican case absolutely did its job, not only protecting it from physical trauma, but also protecting it when left in the car in 95 degree heat.A couple notable examples of the amazing protection were a hike 10 miles down into the Grand Canyon with a 3 night stay. The sand on the hike was like powder and got absolutely everywhere, except inside this case, the case also protected against the bangs and bumps that will be inevitable on that type of outdoor excursion. The other more tangible example was that I chucked the case with my $600 camera inside down a huge hill in Badlands National Park in South Dakota, and the camera didn’t even flinch, it completely protected everything inside.The Bad:The one weak spot on this case is definitely the latches that snap down to close it (I will add a picture shortly so you can see exactly). It takes a good bit of pressure to snap the case closed, which is fine because it makes it very secure when closed, but it puts a lot of pressure on the thin spot on the latch, which eventually caused this latch to crack.Luckily this was after the road trip was over and didn’t compromise my equipment, but I called Pelican and they were very responsive and sent a pair of replacement latches right away and said it is pretty easy to replace yourself. It is definitely not easy to replace as the pin holding the latch on is embedded in the thick plastic so there is no way to unscrew with a wrench or needle nose pliers and even if it was sticking out a little bit, the pin is round so it is nearly impossible to get a solid grip on it. You definitely need specialty equipment to replace this, which I still haven’t found 3 years later (granted I haven’t needed the case as much since the road trip).Conclusion:All in all, the case is as advertised, all but bulletproof and I love it for that, unfortunately the rugged construction quality of the case makes it very difficult to replace the latches, hopefully I will have an update on how to replace them if I ever figure it out.

This is no more a DSLR case than it is a wallet, a cell phone case, or a lunch box. I have a DSLR and maybe for a crop sensor with just a medium zoom lens would this be appropriate. Given the inherent lack of flexibility to squeeze a second lens or a flash in, I would go with a larger model. End rant.This case happily surprised me that it’s internal height from bottom foam to top foam was perfect for a 3.5″ internal hard drive to sit on it’s side. The width of the case from front to back perfect for the length of the drive. By removing a 2×11 section of the pick and pluck foam from each of the two layers, it was a perfect snug fit. I could have fit six drives if needed depending on drive thickness, but I decided to leave a little more padding around the sides and who knows if new drives will be thicker, so I went for 5.The hasps on each corner to secure the case with a lock are not large enough for most standard padlocks by a small margin. Since most locks with thinner shackles are generally very poor quality and hard to find, I’m going to have to improvise. Yes, anyone could easily pick this case up and walk away with it and cut through the side of the case if they wanted, however in cases where it’s not a matter of theft, but protecting what’s inside from casual walkers-by or nosy-bodies, a pair of fat padlocks is a nice deterrent.Back to the foam, if I were putting anything oddly shaped in, the foam could really be an issue. The versatility is there if you plan carefully but your still locked to the grid of the foam. Always go smaller than the item. You may need to make an octagon for a round object, but if it’s a little small it will hold the item snugly and look as if the foam were rounded. Sometimes you may not even need to remove any foam, but just separate it for thin parts of an item. I’d still like to see an option for the full block foam for this case. Small, heavy items also compress this foam more, so no lead ingots in here.

The 1300 is the perfect size for fitting my digital camera with zoom lens, standard lens, extra batteries and SD Cards when we go out on the water wilderness camping for days. My husband added kayak tie down brackets, then waterproofed the drill holes with silicone to the bottom edges of the case to be able to secure to the kayak deck with a strap. Works great. Case is not too large or not too small for what I need it for. Easy to take out my camera while out on the water when needed holding the handle to the case. Works better than expected. Case is very durable and strong. Seal is tight. Never felt like my camera was in jeopardy of getting damaged. Great to have the foam on the lid. Design & construction was well thought of. Brilliant.CONS: The foam breaks apart very easily, so I used some duct tape to secure the edges and this helped.Be careful when reading the measurements online. Read them carefully. I ordered the 1250 and it was not deep enough, my mistake for not carefully reading the specs and understanding them. 1300 size is perfect.

Pelican cases seem expensive when you compare them to other manufacturers’ offerings; however, this is a classic case of getting what you paid for. These things are rugged (they have to be) and they will more than adequately protect their contents (estimated value is nearly 20x the cost of the case) for the long haul.Gone are the days of trying to cut voids in foam with a razor blade or electric bread knife. Gone, too, are the messy days of molding my own inserts from liquid urethane. The foam inserts are pre-cut and ready to pull-apart to create a custom void to hold specific part. Nevertheless, be careful in pulling the foam to be removed lest you remove more than you intended. If the case is repurposed to hold something else, new foam inserts can be purchased.Rugged, easy to customize, and high-visibility yellow protection for my gear at a pretty fair price.
