Pelican 1700 Protector Long Case Foam Desert Tan

The case is great as you can expect from Pelican products. I really like that the lid stays open at a certain angle which is good when you set the case on a bench or table that is not big enough. Unfortunately it cannot hold a nameplate on it which is why I bought it to begin with. I called Pelican customer service before ordering the case and they swore to me that I will be able to put a custom nameplate on it. So back it went to B&H, sorry B&H, not your fault but Pelican's.

The 1620 case is the quality that I would expect from Pelican, but I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the padded divers for this case. I have a 1610 with padded dividers, and it seems like those have many more configuration options than the dividers for the 1620. There isn't a single divider that spans the width of the case (the ones for the 1620 came with at least two) and the bottom of the divider shell is only set up for Velcro attachments in select areas (the bottom of the 1610 dividers could have the Velcro attachments applied anywhere). I've Frankensteined the dividers to allow for what I'm planning on primarily storing in this (a Nauticam Canon R3 housing), but it's not nearly as nice a fit as the 1610 dividers allow for.

Pelican makes a great product. It's solid, heavier than you'd think for It's size, and in fine shape. There's no need to worry about my gear with these cases. It's strong and lives up to the Pelican reputation. Luckily the wheels help lighten the load. I always pay more than I would for other brands for a reason. I appreciate the foam being reinserted very much.
