      Comments about Pelican 1640 Transport Case with Foam (Black):

      Well built case and well padded to protect a very expensive piece of equipment. The foam was easy to hollow out because of the 1 inch grid that was already cut for you. The retracting handle is easy to use.

      A bit expensive but I think it has quite a few years in it.

        I have bought many of these cases to protect sensitive items, this one housed a one of a kind custom electronic board and an aquarium, made it to destination and back no problems. Love the foam as you can customize for anything. Will keep buying these and can't beat the free or low cost shipping!

          Comments about Pelican 1640 Transport Case with Foam (Black):

          Purchased this case to transport and store a high-end Panasonic projector. The 'customizing foam' interior ensured a tight fit. The handle allows for easy transport and folds down when you aren't using it.

          I would highly recommend this product for anyone that needs a sturdy, solid, and smart case. Worth every penny!

          Comments about Pelican 1640 Transport Case with Foam (Black):

          Thank God Pelican is around. The TSA (and some of our tech crew) seem to have some problems understanding that our equipment is valuable but, through all of their negligence, Pelican makes sure that our work can continue and our equipment arrives in one piece.

          The only downside is that you run the thing into your ankles because the rolling handle is too short. Otherwise, perfect.

          Currently using Pelican for 1 Mac Pro, 1 Monitor, 1 Keyboard, 1 Mouse, Triple Heads and Canopus Boxes

            Comments about Pelican 1640 Transport Case with Foam (Black):

            The cases arrived with the foam and one would think what's so great about a Pelican Case, but they secure our items for transportation as well as storage. It helps make my job easier, and the foam inserts were such a plus. I was able to customze the shape of the items we were securing.

              this case is great, the 4 locks on each side really makes a tight seal, and the pre cut foams holds up well after being peiced out for the computer i was carrying.
