Pelican 1700 Case with Foam (Black) Review

Pelican 1700 Case with FoamThis is one sturdy little puppy--you can stand on it. But be warned: the interior dimensions are 36" x 24" x 4.5", and it's not all usable. Inside the case you will find two 1.5" slabs of foam in the bottom of the case, and another single piece in the top. You are supposed to trace lines around your equipment on one of the bottom pieces--leaving at least an inch of foam along the sides. Then cut out the holes you traced with an electric carving knife. That means the depth of the cutout is 1.5"--the thickness of one piece of foam. For me, 1.5 inches is not enough to hold my scoped M4 with a laser on a side rail. Even cutting into the top and bottom pieces (which you are not supposed to do) will not give me enough room. So I'll have to dismount the laser for transport, which is a real pain.

Pros:
Really, really tough.
Reinforced lock holes
Wheels
Watertight (claimed) with automatic pressure equalization

Cons:
Heavy!
Interior is small for exterior size

Product Description:
Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the competion. You can tell it's 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.
