Pelican M40 Micro Case (Black)

This is my first micro case by Pelican, though I do own their larger cases. It's very slick to the touch, I was expecting something a little more rough but it's acceptable. The hole for the lock is small and the tie downs on either end is small so if you plan to put a bungee cord through, it has to be small, ie not more than 3mm diameter. Using this box as part of my disaster kit.

This is my first Pelican case, and I can see why they are so popular. The Quality is excellent and the case will clearly protect whatever is inside. I particularly like that they have a built in gasket seal to keep water out and make it air tight. It works great! They also have a one way valve to allow air pressure to escape from the case if there is a change in air pressure like when flying in an airplane. This appears standard for Pelican cases, and it gives me greater confidence in their cases. I will definitely be buying more Pelican cases for protecting my most important things. It's not cheap, but I do feel that I got what I paid for.

Product as described. Product is shiny and slippery similar to the M50. Its perfect size for passport (the micro 1040 is not due to the plastic inner liner; if you remove ok but need to add 4mm gasket) This is deeper than the micro 1040 and because it doesn't have the plastic inner liner (but plastic tray) translates to a little more usable space. It's also slightly shorter and doesn't have the protruding carabineer loop of the micro 1040.

I am appalled by the look and feel of this box - all screaming low quality. Its comparable to a cheap knockoff boxes you can buy for few dollars. Plastic is tin and seems very brittle. If I am paying top dollar I expect top quality. Just to mention that I have several pelican boxes and cases which i am very happy with but this one is so vastly different in a negative way

well made and robust. Wish it came in a flat black with black handles. the color makes it look cheap. However, anything in it is protected
