Pelican protective cases are the crush-proof, dust-proof, watertight cases that news photographers, military units, and industrial field crews trust for gear worth protecting. The copolymer shell survives drops, the rubber O-ring seal keeps out water and dust, and the automatic pressure-equalization valve prevents the suction-seal problem that locks cheaper cases shut after flights.
The 1170 Protective Case is a slightly longer, flatter version of the 1150 — roughly 10.7 x 7 x 3.8 inches interior, designed for gear that’s long and slim rather than blocky. Common uses include test equipment, small scopes, and gear that needs length without depth. Pick-and-pluck foam included.
Pelican manufactures its Protector cases at American factories including its Torrance, California facility and its South Deerfield, Massachusetts plant. The company has built protective cases domestically since 1976 and backs every Protector case with a lifetime guarantee of excellence.
