They are those heavy plastic cases that folks buy to protect very expensive items.
I worked in the offshore oil industry for many years and hands down it is the ONLY case to use for delicate equipment in a heavy industrial environment. I had two of them for offshore work and carried glass sample jars in one and delicate test gear in the other. They both served me flawlessly for 14 years of heavy use. Now, I have 3 of them in the back of my WORK truck in the middle of the dusty New Mexico desert and they are absolutely water/dust proof. Nearly indestructible.
But you will notice I capitalized WORK above. While Pelican makes the very best cases available they cost about twice if not more than many knockoffs and I would have a very difficult time justifying one unless it was something my life depended upon or was extremely expensive that it was protecting.
As long as the company I work for is willing to pony up for them, they are the only case I will buy Period!
