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.

  • Great
Color: Silver Style: With Foam
Tl;Dr, Pelican cases are the BEST. Reasonable customization is possible with the interiors of most of the cases. They look good, protect your gear very well from multiple/combination hazards, can be easily secured shut/down with cables/chains. Generally the best in AIO storage! I love all of my Pelican cases. They're just, AWESOME! For this specific purchase, I bought a second 1550, it's the grey one in my picture. I have a black one too, they're physically identical aside from the polymer dye. Pelican cases are what I choose when I need to move/store something that's mission critical, extremely fragile, or just plain important. Pelican cases are the best level of protection for you gear within a reasonable price range, period. Use extra care when measuring your storage volume/dimensional-basis needs. The posted dimensions are notably tight and may even be restricted to the largest section of a compound curved side (I haven't checked). Personally, with the pick and pluck foam, I bind the foam together with a silicone, and bind the foam to the case walls too. A simple silicone RTV will work well. I have found Permatex Ultra Black LOOKS the BEST with GOOD adhesive characteristics, and Permatex clear ADHERES the BEST but looks BAD. The larger pick and pluck designs, especially when you take out a lot of volume, the foam has a tendency to distort and pull free, generally just not hos its shape at all. "Gluing" everything down and together addresses this issue very well and permanently. Adhering the foam together is simple, but adhering the foam to the case body is difficult, rather, the silicone will break bond with a small bit of force unless you rough up the case surface with low-numerical grit sandpaper a bit. *Doing this whole room-temp vulcanizing work on these cases and their foam is a bit of an art and a science. It's really easy to make it look like total crap inside if you don't know what you're doing, don't have the proper tools, or don't take considerable time and care with it. If you're not skilled with caulk/RTV/putty or otherwise any type of non-Newtonian material application, ask someone for help. The foam is NOT cheap to replace, at any size case!* I know it may seem like the price point is a bit high, but this is one of the situations in life where you really do get what you pay for. I have not personally had to call the company yet, but from what I understand, if something simple is wrong, like the valve is missing/broken, o-ring breaks, that kind of stuff, the company will just ship whatever you need to you at no cost if you're polite and a good customer. I honestly have not heard anyone ever say a single bad thing about these cases, nor have I had a single negative experience with any of them. In the future, I intend to purchase a good deal more, but these really are expensive (especially the tier I am looking to acquire!) when you get into the larger models. I do need two more, but I want to get the larger two-rifle case for my two rifles. My point is, this is my no-questions-asked go-to case solution, and I am a very, very picky and observant engineer. Pick and pluck foam is... hit or miss size wise. I *almost always* end up custom cutting beyond the pluck boundary, cutting the sections in half horizontally/parallel to ground. Height variations are a pain, but that's where the kitchen knife comes in to play. I much prefer using a blade with this foam over hot-wire. Hot wire tends to sink too much heat into the foam, and it just keeps melting without a ton of cooling. I know there are companies and Pelican offer custom foam, but I'm not entirely sure it's "worth" it dollar for dollar. If you need a perfect fit, anti-static foam, or just love the look, then by all means, who am I to define your opinion for you? ... show more

  • seven handguns with magazines
Color: Desert Tan Style: With Foam
I was looking for a case to transport my pistols to the range. This case fit the bill. I was able to fit six pistols in the case with slots for magazines. If I had another pistol, I could have easily fit seven into this case with slots for magazines. The pick and pluck foam which consists of two layers allow for this sort of customization. You just lay it out using push pins or toothpicks and then start removing foam somewhat carefully. If you get a little too rambunctious removing foam, you can reglue foam bits using the glue recommended in the instruction booklet. Do yourself a favor and save the removed foam to customize the magazines so that they stick out just a little bit...you understand when you do it. The latches, handle and overall construction is very sturdy for your most delicate equipment. The desert tan color looks awesome too. ... show more

  • Perfect photographer's buddy
Color: Orange Style: With Foam
The search for a gear bodyguard is over. I've started doing more location photography and wanted to upgrade my bags/cases for three main reasons: 1) Better protection in transit 2) Easier management and accessibility of gear 3) Consolidation of gear to reduce number of bags/cases to haul around This case solves all three needs quite nicely. It's just deep enough to store body & lens together, and some items can be nested or stacked to optimize space (for example, one of my larger flashes is stored horizontally with spare batteries nested in the bottom foam layer). I was worried about fitting everything in this case, but I actually have enough room left over for another lens. Here's a generic list of everything I was able to comfortably fit into the Pelican 1550: -dSLR + attached wide angle zoom lens -additional midrange zoom lens -5 flash units -6 flash transceivers -pano head -4 spare AA batteries -portable field recorder -misc (wb card, spare sd cards, flash filters, trigger cable, flash feet) Hints for successful packing: 1. Plan ahead! Draw up a diagram, cut out shaped templates, whatever you need to do to get the foam plucked out right the first time. It will save the headache of Super-77 repairs or the old "painting yourself into a corner" syndrome of haphazard packing. 2. Use a smallish bread knife to easily cut through the perforated foam. Yes, it's called "pick-n-pluck", but the foam squares are still connected pretty securely. I finely serrated knife will make quick work of it. Pick a knife with symmetrical serrations (like this /\) as opposed to right-angle serrations (like this /|). 3. Remember that your gear can poke out of the top a bit. You have about 1 1/2" of space above the top foam layer that is taken up by the lid foam, so utilize that space to reduce gear movement and take advantage of that extra space. 4. Pimp it out! Order some vinyl lettering and put your company name on the outside of the box. Or just get a biohazard sticker for the front and add a pair of handcuffs to the handle. ... show more

  • These are absolutely the best cases around
Color: Desert Tan Style: With Foam
These are absolutely the best cases around. They will last forever and keep their contents safe as well. It seems that the inside dimensions are a little larger than described as the case tapers slightly at the bottom. I like everything about this case itself, but I with they would package it with standard cut out foam. I do not like the pluck 'n pull foam. Not only is it not precise, it does not last very long as the serrations between cubes slowly break it apart, and it is very difficult to "cut" out partial depths. With standard foam, you cut your shape all the way through, then cut the shape to the desired depth and replace the other part. You can buy more foam from Pelican and other online sources, so if you are like me, it may be cheaper to buy the empty case and buy the foam separately. You can't go wrong with Pelican cases though. Top notch for anything you really need protected. ... show more
