Pelican 1040 Micro Case (Yellow/Clear)

I love these cases. I bought several of them (1010, 1020, 1040 & 1050) and turned the 1040 into a hard shell diabetes kit case (glucometer, test strips, pen needles, lancets, alcohol wipes, and insulin pen) I removed the rubber insert and lined both halves with sticky-back velcro and then put a small tab of the opposite velcro on each item. Works like a charm - everything stays in place, it's all contained in a small package, and I don't have to worry about my stuff getting crushed when I travel. The 1040 size fits a couple of altoid - size tins side-by side perfectly (with the liner removed). The tins work really well for containing enough pen needles and lancets for a week or so use. The case latches securely and is damn near indestructible. It has a loop for a belt or nylon strap and includes a carabiner. I think you can even put a small padlock on some models. I would caution against submerging the cases for any length of time - I think they're more designed for water resistance rather than protecting your delicate electronics from a full fledged dunking. I do think they float, so that's a bonus too.

These cases are awesome. Though they’re smaller inside than you’d expect. Though fits well for a car key, phone and thin wallet while kayaking. Water resistance is top notch, locking mechanism is solid.

Very nice case. Works great.

I had recently purchased a pocket selfie drone and wanted to get a hard case to protect my investment. There are not many cases for the drone so there were many people saying that they had made a custom 3D printed one. After pricey those out, I determined that they were a little more than I wanted to spend. So, I started looking at purchasing a ready made case that could do the job and came across this one. The measurements were perfect and the drone fit in there like a glove.The case's shell has a very rigid outer shell and will definitely protect my drone. I tested it in water and yes, it is waterproof, as they claim. However, my drone should be nowhere near water to need to rely on the feature hopefully. There is not much padding on cushioning on the inside of the case. The top of the case has a thin foam liner and bottom of the case has an even thinner foam insert. I may have to add a little foam to it.The case comes with a carabeaner to latch the case to hooks, backpacks and other items. It also has a very secure latch that secures the case closed and ensures it watertight integrity. I like this little case a lot. I can travel with my drone with less worries about it getting damaged. I am very happy that I was able to find it.

Its worth it

I use the small Pelican boxes for storing easy to lose doo-dads in my overlander/van conversion. Very durable wih outstanding workmanship. Thet lasy a LONG time. Which is good since they aren'y cheap.Great overall products. I have been using Pelican products for decades. Small carabininer comes in hamdy or just unclip it for another use. If you are in SoCal see if you can get the Pelican factory to show you around. You soon see why they earned their reputation for excellence. Worth every penny.

I used to use ziplock bags to protect my things from dust at work before I got this box. An iPhone 15 pro fits perfectly with room for an AirPods case and a few vape pens. Everything is completely dust free after cutting granite countertops all day.
