What are the dimensions?
Asked by: Anonymous
This case is built like a tank, and is about as big as one too. It's a bit under 27 x 27 inches, and about 17 inches tall. It weighs over 60 pounds, but it has fold out handles on two sides so that you can have someone help you lift it into position. It also has a pull-out handle and castors so the you can roll it to where you need it.If you want to protect your stuff from anything sort of an atomic bomb, this case is an excellent choice. (It also provides a watertight seal, so you don't need to worry about your stuff getting wet.) If you want to throw your stuff over your shoulder, this isn't the right choice.(I have two of them.)
