Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If I buy the 1550 case, can I get the custom die cutting foam with it?

A: I do not believe BH Photo Video offers die cutting of the foam. That will likely be a service offered by Pelican only, or a specialized shop in your area.

Q: 2. Which pelican case would be suitable for a Sinar P 8x10 camera?

A: The Pelican 1400 would be a good sized option for a Sinar P 8x10 camera.

Q: 3. Are the Inside Dimensions listed on Pelican Cases the pluckable volume of foam, or to the inside surface of the plastic case?

A: They are the inside diameter of the case not the foam

Q: 4. The Pelican 1490 product photo shows convoluted foam inside the lid, and pick-n-pluck foam in the bottom. However, one of the customer photos shows organizer pockets in the lid, and what appears to be a different foam in the bottom, with a laptop strap. Which configuration is it?

A: The images we have up are correct for Pelican 1490 Attache/Computer Case with Foam (Black). The customer photo seems to be for Pelican 1490CC1 Computer Case with Lid Organizer and Tray (Black), BH #PE1490CC1 • MFR #1490-003-110, https://bhpho.to/3p29JZ1

Q: 5. Where do you get replacement wheels?

A: You can get them from Pelican. Their customer service is really good and they likely won't even charge you for them.

Q: 6. How this compare to the equivalent SKB version? Are the latches hard to open?

A: Which case you choose would would be personal preference. Both the Pelican 1620NF Case and the SKB iSeries 2217-12 Waterproof Utility Case are extremely durable heavy duty cases with limited lifetime warranties from the respective manufacturers. Some people state the SKB latch is slightly easier to disengage simply due to the position of the trigger release, while others feel the Pelican dual clutch release offers an additional level of security, but I do not think they are hard to open.

Q: 7. Does the case have a place to run a tie down cable through so I can secure the case in my truck to prevent theft?

A: Yes, the Pelican 1490 Attache/Computer Case without Foam has a place to run a tie down cable through so you can secure the case in your truck to prevent theft.

Q: 8. Weight capacity of a full 1620 pelican?

A: I use this case regularly in and out of airports with test equipment in it. Usually weighs between 65-70 pounds. The case with foam is around 26 alone so I would agree with 40 - 45lbs but I am sure that it will hold more with no issues. It is just how much you are willing to lug around.

Q: 9. Will this fit 2019 MacBook Pro 16?

A: The 2019 MacBook Pro 16" will fit too snug in this case. I would say you would need something a nit larger. There is just about 1' difference in that laptop and the interior dimensions of this case.

Q: 10. Will this case accommodate an Apple 2015 MacBook Pro15.4 inch retina computer?

A: That is what I have in mine. It works great.
