I'm a college student and am wondering if Pelican cases are ideal for carrying my laptop around campus. I'll already be carrying books, backpack etc, so is it good for daily usage? Since I'm not a military person, nor taking my laptop to...

This CasE Would Be To Much To Have For Daily Use. It Is A Heavy Duty Container That Has A Combo On It. Go To The Pelican Website To Find A Slimmer Version Of This.

i have the 1075 pelican case that allows me to put my wife's 10" samsung note 3 in it with the "rocketfish portfolio leather case" left on. the purpose was for use while travelling in and out of airports and lounges. there is no space left in the pelican case. this is probably a different case than the other customer is talking about. no storage area in the case- just the tablet itself with the portfolio case on.

I have carried it once in my back pack when I traveled....its like the size of a laptop case just a little thicker. The shell has a hardness to it so it protects your equipment just fine. So the only down side is it takes up some room.....it's like carrying a larger school book in your back pack...but the plus is it stores a lot of your equipment....I also have a smaller size when I don't need to take a lot of stuff. It's the size of a small padded lunch box. The next thing I am going to look at is the back packs made for the go pro...they look pretty sweet. A lot of compartments.

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.

The inside measurements of the case are clearly given in the specs on the Pelican website. To fit the computer perfectly, buy the foam version which you cut to fit perfectly.

No worries. You will be very happy with this bag. The only bag I have that I like more is a pelican backpack because it incorporates a hard shell for laptops. Worth taking a look at.

Yes, I am a student as well and I use it in my backpack all the time. It protects the headphones well. It's about the same hardness as the original beats 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.

Have not had a problem. I own the bag and use it for college( read carrying around heavy textbooks across campus and taking on and off frequently for class/lunch/retrieving cellphone/recreation center).

I enjoy Solo products. I went form the Classic to the Executive case. You will not have a problem with a 14", 15.6" and even without using a computer case a 17" laptop will fit. For all your legal documents, pens, glasses, passports, plane ticket, you will not a problem based on there is extra room in the handle section. As for aircraft seating it will fit with no problem, that is where I put mind when I travel, but remember you will be taking some leg room away so you're going loose a little comfort. This case still surprises many people how much office material it can handle.

It is relatively water resistant. I would guess that if you were in a torrential downpour for 5-8 minutes your laptop would be fine. 20 minutes is a long time to stand in a downpour. You may want a pelican case for your computer is this is a situation you find yourself in often. I absolutely love mine and I have been in the rain with it before and have had no issues what so ever. It is not water proof but is exceptionally resistant to rainfall.

I'm a graduate student and have a Macbook Pro 15" at home as my primary computer. This computer, for the last 6 weeks, has been the computer I carry with my to campus and use in school for note-taking, and other tasks. It's the best thing that's happened to me in terms of classroom efficiency.

I think it's a perfect size if they have a laptop to carry around with other stuff. However, it would be very easy to over stuff it with books and paper, which might make it too heavy. As long as they pack it wisely and don't over load it, it should work great for students!

Hey Bidwan, I just was looking at the pelican boxes and I placed a cell phone comparable to a galaxy S4 and my passport in it and I found that the pelican 1050 would be your best fit. It is enough room but doesn't take up to much space. Hope all is well and let us know if you have anymore questions.

Yep, it's the perfect size for that. I'd say don't carry >3 textbooks, as then you'll have a hard time finding a place to put a charger for the laptop.

Very good for it. Flew to NYC for college with it and it protected perfectly. Flying back with it for winter break.

Well, nothing outside of Pelican/Hardig will compare to Pelican. But it does offer decent protection, and it's reasonably comfortable to carry. I would not check it when flying. But I do take it to job sites.
