Customer Reviews:* My first experience with a Pelican case was a smaller version with pick and pluck foam that I use for a gun case. I liked it - a lot - so when it came time to get an 'occasional' case, this seemed to fit the ticket. I needed something that I could take onboard as a carry-on, but that I could also put in checked baggage if I needed to. Most rollaboards are light but flimsy and would suffer a horrible fate at the hands of typical luggage handlers. Not so with the Pelican case. This thing is seriously tough. The neoprene liner is well worth it with the double zips to keep all your personal effects nicely in place, and the utility bag and laptop bag fit perfectly in the lid. They're held in with velcro and when removed, can be stuck to each other, acting as a laptop pouch (but without its own handle).The Pelican case's toughness is it's biggest plus point, but could also be a big minus if you're not strong. Fully packed with a laptop, power supply, cables and five days of clothes and a wash kit, this thing tips the scales at about 27lbs. That's well within the limit for checked luggage but if you pack it this full, you'll need some heft to get it into the overhead bins onboard.Is it worth it? Absolutely. Sure it's hefty but that's because of its durability. In the last year, mine's been round the world with me (literally) twice, both onboard and in checked baggage. Whilst idly staring out the window, I actually saw my case fall off the loading conveyor at Dallas DFW a few months ago - probably an 8ft drop to the concrete. Sure it's scuffed but the hinges are in perfect condition, as are the clasps and seals. The handles show no sign of damage or potential detachment.As one reviewer said, the interior space does seem smaller than you might expect, but pack smartly and it will be no problem. * I travel a lot and in three trips baggage handlers had managed to destroy two softside cases, ripping the wheels off one and the handles off of another while my old backup case was losing it's zippers. I sucked it up and paid the extra for this one WITH the Neoprene liner. The failing of this Pelican case is that it's double throw latches can come open and this one only has the two. The liner saved my stuff from coming out until I got smart and bought the TSA locks just to keep the thing closed if the latches pop open. Even a cheap caribiner would work but the liner is still worth it. The wheels roll amazingly well, it's actually very light, the handle pops open easily and stays shut when not wanted, and it's tough as nails. The down points are the latches, no external pockets for convenient access to documents, and small size.---EDIT--- October 2012I needed extra space and this case was fantastic but the Pelican double throw latches had a habit of popping open when used as checked luggage... Liner saved my stuff so in hindsight it is an absolute must. I lost three TSA locks in transit, they just don't hold up so I use a bolt and wingnut combo unless you need to lock people out. I bought a companion case to go with it, a Storm 2620 with no liner. They're the perfect pair. Now the LOC is my carry on and the Storm is my checked bag. See customer images
