Pelican Storm iM2750 Case With Foam (Yellow), One Size (IM2750-20001)

I've owned several Storm Cases and I have never been disappointed. This one is no exception. I ordered this model as it is about the biggest you can get while still being under most airline's "oversize baggage" dimensions. I was able to fit a lot of baggage for a two week overseas trip. This included 15 days of clothing, an extra pair of shoes, a few sweaters, a roll-up self-inflating mattress pad (some of those Korean hotels have rocks for mattresses), and an assortment of electronics/chargers/ cables/etc. I really liked that I could flip up the carrying handle (right side in picture) and slip my carry-on bag between it and the extendable rolling handle. This made it very easy to move through the airport with such a big case and carry-on.This thing is built like a tank. I had no concerns about the safety of the contents or that the latches might pop open (it has four). It even makes a nice seat if needed for a long wait in the airport or at the bus stop. The only down side of this durability is the weight of the case itself. However, even fully loaded, I made it under the 50 pound limit.Highly recommended.

We'll see how it actually holds up under fire. There are several areas of concern, going over this case. The wheels are just a touch too small for rolling on something like low-pile carpet. I'm sure they'll be fine on flat hard floors, as long as it's even.The side handles are very stiff to pull out and just as stiff to put back against the sides, rather than self-retracting. This leads me to believe they will probably be subjected to more insults by baggage handlers who are too lazy to do one or the other, or both. But the case does have four handles, so hopefully it's the one above the wheels, if anything should happen.The latches aren't as crisp in operation and are kind of light in comparison with a Nanuk case. When the latches are shut, I get the urge to check and re-check that they are actually engaged and positively locked in. All it takes is one incident of not latching to throw off confidence, and I've had that with the case. Only repeated exposure to TSA agents will tell for sure.The upright handle used when rolling the case on its wheels was dubious as some have stated. In addition, the release for it is in an awkward spot and requires two hands for operating. Moving the release is also not very intuitive. It goes the exact opposite way you would expect a release to go, and is very stiff to operate also, thus the two-handed operation. Then, you need to figure out which of the two hands you'll use to actually pull up the handle. Retracting it is the opposite of this, with the two-hands, etc.In addition to those issues, it's all plastic on plastic contact between the handle and the base, and I could feel the expected wear taking place from the first time I pulled it up. I'd expect that this may be one of the first parts to go, and would make the wheels and bottom base useless, in that event. The barely-conscious thought to treat that area with kid gloves becomes evident whenever using the handle.The rest of the case seems okay, except for one thing. I noted that when this one is closed, the seam is not entirely flat and uniform in front. With all latches positively closed and seal fully in place, I might add, there is a wavy area between the top and bottom, as from not molded quite precisely, or heat distorted somehow. There is between an 1/8" and 1/4" of variation of the mating surfaces within about 12" to 18" of the front of the case. This is with it empty and with no stress, free-standing. I'm wondering how that will affect the seal. Something else to keep an eye on.Both the Nanuk and Pelican have lifetime warranties. Given the look and the playtime I've now had with both, working everything quite a few times, I probably would have opted to go all-Nanuk just for the fit, finish, and practicality of the various details. I'll keep the Pelicans though and report any new developments with either brand.UPDATE 11-17-2014: First deployment over and done with. All is well. Both Pelicans held up. Hint: On my return trip, I couldn't find my cases. Turns out the baggage people pulled them aside and were keeping an eye on them. I asked why and was told "Whenever we see these Pelican cases come through, they usually have something precious or expensive in them, so we like to keep a special watch over them." Cool!DaveAgain

First, let me say this thing is built like a tank. It should be for what it costs. The is no doubt it will hold up to a ton of abuse. If you will be transporting your gear in a vehicle this case will probably work great but, for me it is simply to heavy. It is built with such heavy materials that it is almost overweight for most airlines empty, let alone full of gear. If you are going to be checking this as luggage for air travel, be prepared to pay overweight charges. There are much cheaper alternatives out there now that are sturdy but lighter.

I've flown with this case loaded to 69.5 lbs on 2 occasions now. It has survived with only some dings and scratches, but nothing bad. The wheels, latches and handles did not seem overburdened by the weight, but I think 100 lbs might be the limit. Before the first trip, I loaded it up and flipped it over a few times on my driveway to see how it would hold up to baggage handlers. It's not indestructible, but with 70 lbs in it, I think it would survive a 4 or 5 foot fall without splitting open.I need to fly with hand tools as well as some specialized equipment for my trade. It was nice to have the protective (and portable) case at the job sites as well. I use to just pack my tools and equipment in a regular suitcase (usually 2) along with my clothes. I'm glad I got this size as anything smaller would not have worked as well for me.This size may be larger than you need if you are unwilling to pay for overweight luggage. It will get over 50 lbs fast, but the size is just right for 70 lbs of tools and test equipment.Update: On my last trip, airline baggage handling managed to break a corner of the rear extendable handle. The box weighed 47lbs at check-in. It was still functional, but obviously weakened. Tuesday evening I contacted Pelican via a form on their web site. When I got home on Friday I had a whole new handle piece (with wheels and everything) waiting on my doorstep - ABSOLUTELY FREE!. What incredible service! That will keep me a loyal Pelican customer.

Case is great for sensitive equipment that you want to guarantee wont be damaged. This is waterproof and crush proof. I opted for no foam, as it's main purpose is fursuit transport and the foam is unnecessary. Wheels and handle work well.

This case is exactly what I needed to protect my drum equipment. I fit my kick pedal, snare, multipad drum module and cables all in this case!

As per my previous experiences with Pelican products, I am not disappointed with this one.Build quality is top notch. Very sturdy and the rollers are quiet. Locking mechanism is smooth. Included a lot of foam padding that can be modified to your needs.
