The black/gray ACHC5600 Large Hard Case from Ape Case is a reliable way to safely store and/or transport your gear. The ACHC5600 is slightly larger than the ACHC5550 offering you some additional storage space. With its solid aluminum frame, reinforced steel corners and ABS walls, this case is made to stand the abuse that occurs during normal travel and deliver your gear intact.
The exterior shows black panels with a handsome gray trim. The hinges are padded and also made to heavy-duty specifications. There's even a convenient keyed lock that comes with two keys. In addition, a padlock loop will accept a user-supplied TSA approved lock.
Inside, the case comes with "pick and pluck" foam as well as adjustable dividers to suit whatever gear you need. The foam provides a comfortable and secure nest in which to customize your equipment into their own space. The dividers provide less cushioning but allow you to compartmentalize your gear for organizational purposes.
The interior foam is made from Ape's Hi Vis Yellow material that makes it easy to locate gear within the bag when the light is marginal. Choose whichever mode of packing, foam or dividers, suits your needs. A strong removable shoulder strap makes toting it around easier and more comfortable. There's also a durable hinged top carry handle. The case comes with a 1-year warranty from Ape.

Comments about Ape Case ACHC5600 Large Hard Case (Black/Gray):
I've bought this case for my second DSLR and lenses. Decided not to go all the way and buy a pelican case, instead get this one. It looks great, the yellow foam is awesome.
My only concern is the sturdiness of this case and it's locks. It looks pretty flimsy but I don't want to test and bend or dent it to test it. So far it's doing a good job.
Very professional looking.

Comments about Ape Case ACHC5600 Large Hard Case (Black/Gray):
The two foam layers are great. They are kind-of cubed in about one centimeter sections so that you can remove enough to exactly fit the lenses. I have most of my lenses in there to protect them from getting banged around. It works great. There are other options for dividers if you prefer.

This case looks great inside and out!
The yellow foam punchout padding is a great inclusion to fit any type of gear. I use this to carry around my small studio lights and it provides good padding for my fragile lights.
Outside seems decently durable. Should survive multiple falls.
Handle is comfy
