Pelican 1490 Case With Foam (Black)

Here is what I found to be the situation with the 1490 vs. 1470: If you have a 15 inch laptop, it will fit in either one, no problem. If you want a little added depth to maybe bring a power bank or your charger along, the 1490 will do it easily where you need use a little strategy and compromise with the 1470. Both are durable and Pelican known quality. To me, the 1490 just steps into the 'won't fit in my backpack or duffle bag easily' category. No big deal, but for some it may dissuade. I appreciate the roominess of the 1490 a little more than the 1470, not for the added foam protection, but for the placement of the laptop, power bank and charger. If you are thinking about the 1470 vs 1490, both will accommodate a 15 inch laptop (Toshiba Satellite) with ease, however even at a pound heavier and noticeably larger the 1490 won me over due to charger room.

I've used Pelican cases throughout my career in the Navy and knew there was only one choice when buying a case to store my new Sig Sauer P226 in. Shipping was quick and the case arrived as described. I can easily fit my gun, 4 spare magazines, and a cleaning kit in it. I haven't done any traveling yet with the case, but my previous experiences with other Pelican cases has always been positive. I trust Pelican with whatever I throw in the case and have another bigger case on order for my shotgun. The peace of mind is worth the price.

I've had this case for some time now. It works great to transport the suppressor collection. I wanted one case for all of the silencers and the various accessories. As you can see, this left me enough room to get cans #7 and #8 in there once they're out of jail. You can also keep copies of the trust and stamps behind the piece of foam in the lid. I've recommended this case to others who are venturing into NFA mufflers.

I have travelled countless miles with this thing and always feel comfortable with my work computer in it. Flights, road trips, all of the above.

How about 6 stars? Use for carry of high value items in checked baggage. I got tired of cases that cracked, broken hasps, etc. After a dozen trips this year all this case shows is a little scuffing. Forget the 20-30 dollar cases, these Pelican cases are worth every penny if you want your equipment to arrive in shape to use. Biggest problem I have is the locks are not TSA approved, so I have to use a 3rd party lock. Perhaps Pelican will get with TSA for an airline case. That would be awesome.

I am a real fan of all Pelican cases! I have had at least a dozen different Pelican cases for many applications. Always impressed with the build quality and protection provided. I needed a case that was lockable in a versatile size, this was it. The usual pic & pluck foam to fit items and the option of simply removing the center pick & pluck and using the base top and bottom foam. I have yet to ware out any Pelican case and have tried! They may get scratched up on the outside and not look pretty, but the contents have remained protected and dry.

If you're hesitating on purchasing this, don't. This case saved me $2,000+. I'm in the National Guard and bought this to keep my laptop safe and dry on drill weekends should I need it for whatever reason. My last drill weekend, I left this in my Humvee while I had to go to a meeting. My crew had to move some stuff around inside the truck to make room and ended up setting my case with my Macbook Pro inside on the roof and forgot about it. They had to leave in a hurry and the case flew off the roof going about 25 MPH, tumbling end over end before finally coming to a rest. They quickly realized this and stopped to collect it. I met up with them a couple hours later and they told me the news. The case was a little roughed up, but didn't appear to have any catastrophic damage. I took my Macbook out and it booted right up from sleep, no damage whatsoever. I'm typing this review on the laptop, as a matter of fact. So if you need a case that is going to keep your laptop dry and will protect it from falling off moving vehicles, definitely consider this.

My son wanted a Pelican laptop case to protect his computer for the trip to Afghanistan. So I measured his laptop and ordered the appropriate size. The problem is, there is no room for his charger and the battery has to be removed to fit into the case. That is the reason this product got four stars. Otherwise, the case does what it is supposed to do and that is to protect the computer. It is a well made product, lots of protective foam and it locks.

Resistente, buenos materiales, acabados y resistente contra agua. Es perfecto para una laptop de 14" La espuma es fácil de cortar para adaptarla a la medida

A little expensive, but definitely worth it for the hardness it offers. Plenty of interior space combines well a rugged exterior, keeping even the most delicate eggs safe in the back of a 2 and a half ton truck.

Extremely sturdy case with foam to protect laptop & accessories. Very nice!

Nice case!

the locking mechanism is weak, the space is just enough to host a 17 inch laptop but the narrow margin seems like it is less protective from vibration. it works however i wish they would get one of these laptops that are getting so popular and make a solution that is tailored with better security features.
