This is not a sealed device. It seems to be meant for indoor wall mount. Not sure if a case is available.

Yes, that's what I use it for. It doesn't come with a case, so I bought a utility box at Radio Shack and put the unit in the front of the box and an outlet in the back. The unit has a relay that can be used to control the power to the outlet. (In other words, some assembly is required.) I have been using mine for about a year, and it's been doing fine.

Yes, its designed to be outside. I have 3 of them, all outside and they work great.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

No case. I fly it naked. No worries about the weather. I've had it submerged for over 45 minutes and it still works perfectly. The only thing I did is hot glue the silver cylinder (capacitor?) so that the wires coming from it don't touch each other.

My granddaughter has used hers outdoors but we store it in the garage if being used outside. She also uses it in the house. We are very pleased with this equipment for the price.

Indoor only, you would need to enclose it in a weathertight case to use it outside.

No this is not meant to be for outside. You would need a hard covered shelter. Amazon does carry these also. This would not stand up to any continual elements (snow/rain/sleet) on a daily-long term basis.

I don't see why you couldn't use it outside. It might not hold up as well, but they are not that expensive. If it doesn't hold up to the weather buy a new one.

I've used it outdoors, but it's very sensitive to wind. Keep away from trees, and not over pavement. Training kit recommended.

Mine didn't come with a case. The box is small and the lantern is assembled, so I just reuse the box it came in. A case would have been nice though. Outdoor Products has a small waterproof box that would probably work great for a lantern case.

No case, but it would be a good idea if it will not be in a permanent location.

It only needs to be secured if it is windy. It does have things to secure the screen down. Since you would be setting it up on your patio, maybe you can tie it down to something.

Their ad advises "Ideal for outdoor/Indoor IP65 case" which seems to suggest that outdoor use is acceptable. Mine is mounted outdoors and partially protected by the eave it's mounted under. So far, so good.

Yes. It can be used outside. It is small and you may want to consider a larger unit. If you do fly outside, please would watch out for: 1) Wind and 2) Range as you may fly out of good signal strength and not be able to control it.

No case and it would be difficult to move about once assembled. It's very much like the one seen in doctors office. It has wheels built in under the scale for easy moving within office/home.

I suppose you could try to put it on the outside, but my guess is that the weather would take it down for you after a while. I put it on the inside, and it works just great.
