In every picture of the pelican 1085CC the case is only open to just past 90 degrees. The one I received opens and lays flat to 180. Is this normal?
1452828
Yes. The reason the pictures are at 90 degrees is to demonstrate the different foam liners.
1452829
Yes, mine is the same way. I was disappointed as well. The top opens and lays flat other than stopping at 90 degrees as it shows in the pictures. Makes using it in the case inconvenient.
1452830
That's completely normal. They only do that in the picture to show both sides of the case.
1452831
Yes. Mine opens to 180, and maybe even a little more. I'd imagine the pictures you have seen are just trying to show a good view of the product. I hope this helps.
1452832
Yes it is normal. You have nothing to worry about. The hinges are to lose for it to stay up at 90 degrees.
1452833
Yes. I got one and it opened to 180deg. It has no system in place to stop it at 90.

Good question, it's actually left wide open, the case gives about an 1/8 of an inch around it.

I have the Pelican 1560 case. There is a 1 inch layer of egg crate foam in the lid, two three inch layers of pick & pluck and 1 inch of solid in the bottom. Works very nice for layering items as long as you don't have to big of overlapping holes between layers.

To be honest I'm not sure exactly what any of those are, but based on the measurement this case is probably too big. It's the size of a small suitcase or larger backpack. It has two layers of "pick and pluck" foam. Trying a pelican case that is a little smaller. You can watch some really good videos on YouTube too, that show how big each case is.

90 degrees is straight up and upright. I got it for a friend's daughter...they love it. Have you checked the light bulb? if it's malfuctioning, you may need to send it back and get a new one. Email the seller. Good Luck.

Vic, I already answered that you should get a Hard Case for an over $800 Dollar Mater.I would get something like this Fluke CXT80 Extreme Pelican Hard Case for 80/180 SeriesAnd cut out the foam to fit the 789! Or chek on fluke.com they might have a case especially for that model!

The 1085 has the "Pick and pluck" foam, the 1085cc has a padded foam liner. It depends on which type of protective foam you like better. Enjoy your Pelican.

The fan sits over the fan opening in the back of the case. Remember that heat rises and more can be drawn out with a couple of fans on top. Just remember to use canned air to keep them clean.

Hello. Because the book case is slanted the part thats not flat may not matter. if it doesn't work, Amazon has a excellent return policy. Good luck

The case does not get hot, the front panel gets very warm because that is where the hot air is coming from of course. I have been very happy with my original one. I returned the second one I purchased from Amazon because it lacked the hardware to assemble the base and the box had been previously opened.

Hi Carolyn! We have beeb selling these cases for the past year and have not heard of any complaints, so I don't believe you would have any issues. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Regulation wise, No...But ppl say they have gotten it on with no problems and it did fit in the overhead. My issue is if you get tuned down then they will take it from you and check it...I dont want mine checked. Too many thieves looking for these cases. Best off buying Pelican 1510-000-110 Carry On Case with Pick 'N' Puck Foam (Black)

Sorry, but I don't know. I believe the Air is thinner, so it may be loose in the case.

Well... I checked out the think tank case, and a tank it isn't. The Pelican so is. The cost for the Pelican is much less, so more bang for your bucks. I am a photographer, and I wouldn't want my $10,000 camera system anywhere but nearby where I can protect it, and feel confident that if it falls off the end of the ramp at unloading, which actually happened to me, that the cameras will be protected. So, it must be small enough to fit the airline protocols, and big enough to hold it all, sturdy enough to take the bangs that airline handlers put everything through. I am very happy with my purchase, and I see no reason to buy a think tank that isn't a tank, when I can get a Pelican that is a tank. Well... I checked out the think tank case, and a tank it isn't.

There is an opening, but mine was not aligned correctly. I simply enlarged it , and it works great. I love this case!
