Ruggard Portable Dry Case Overview

Store, transport, and protect your gear from dirt, dust, and moisture with the 9.6L Portable Dry Case with Rechargeable Dehumidifier from Ruggard. This case is suitable for storing photos, optical, electronics, and other items that require protection from humidity. Interior humidity levels may be monitored with the built-in hygrometer, which has a large, easy-to-read gauge on the lid of the case. For added protection, the case features a weatherproof gasket seal and a manual pressure release valve. Hasps on each latch accept select optional padlocks.

Included with the case is a small, silent dehumidifier that can be renewed by simply plugging it into a wall outlet and waiting for the color indicator to turn from orange to green.

Portable Dry Case
The Ruggard Portable Dry Case helps protect your equipment, such as lenses, photographic and optical equipment, and mobile electronics from dirt, dust, and moisture. It's a portable, weather-sealed option where you can store valuables while on location.
Renewable Dehumidifier
The included Renewable Dehumidifier draws away excessive moisture from stored gear. It's a small, hand-sized unit that fits in most sealed cases and works without power. This dehumidifier is useful for storing gear in conditions such as tropical locales or rain forests.
Dehumidifier Status Window
The status window and color guide on the Renewable Dehumidifier show you when it's full of moisture, and when it's ready to use. The green crystals indicate the dehumidifier is ready for use, orange crystals indicate it needs to be recharged by plugging into a standard wall outlet.
Hygrometer
The hygrometer measures the water vapor inside the case and displays a range of relative humidity levels. It takes the guesswork out of knowing when to open the case to avoid prematurely exposing the internal air to external moisture.
