• Pelican cases are kept watertight through the use of a tongue and groove fit and a polymer o-ring.
• Pelican cases come standard with an Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve which releases built up air pressure while keeping water out.
• Pelican’s Pick N’Pluck foam lets you customize the interior.
• Stainless steel reinforced padlock protectors

Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the competion. You can tell its a Pelican case by the distinctive “twin-ribbed” top surface. Stainless steel pins are used for hinges and handles. The new Double-Throw latches are much easier to open.

I wanted to take my camera equipment with me on an Ozark canoe float weekend, but needed a sturdy waterproof case to protect it against bumps and (especially) water. I ordered this case, and have been completely satisfied. I had no trouble customizing the foam padding to accommodate my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, a 100mm macro lens, a 18-55mm zoom lens, a 75-300mm zoom lens, a couple of spare batteries, two watches, and my car keys for this trip! The fully loaded case floated high in the water when I tested it. The latches took a fair amount of effort to open and close, but this was actually pretty reassuring when risking expensive equipment on the water. It opened and closed easily enough for me to manage while sitting in a canoe on a moving river without losing my paddle or my fishing rod. All of my camera equipment stayed dry and undamaged after spending two full days on the river. Had my canoe overturned, I have no doubt that my equipment would have been fine. That said, I should have bought the orange or yellow version rather than the black one as it would have been easier to find had I had such an accident.

Like other Pelican cases I’ve owned this thing is built like a tank. The new latches are nice, it’s still a very solid operation to latch and unlatch the lid, but a bit easier now. The pluck-apart foam is great, makes for a very clean looking cavity to place your equipment.

I got this case for my Nikon D60 based on a review of a 1200 in a different color that said it fit the D40 (which is the same size as the D60). It’s a perfect fit in the horizontal directions, but I do wish it was a half inch taller, as the D60 pretty much compresses the foam all the way when closing the lid. Nikon lists the height of the D60 as 3.7″ and Pelican lists the interior height of the 1200 as 4.12″

Of course that’s not a defect with the case, I could have gone for the 1300 which is almost the same size in the horizontal directions but 2″ taller. Or the 1400 which is 1.5 – 2.5″ larger in the horizontal dimensions and 1″ taller. But my mom has the 1300 for her Canon XTi and it seems quite bulky, so I think the 1200 was the right choice. Pelican’s are rock solid so I don’t worry about the case getting crushed and squishing the camera.

This case was ordered to hold some medical equipment that must travel with me on my about two-weeks-per-month business travel. The good part is that this case will probably survive falling into a black hole. The bad part is that it takes up half my carry-on suitcase. But that’s what you pay to have protection for expensive equipment.
