"The webbing on the inside is perfect to keep a cellphone secure in the case, to keep it from moving around. Attaching a sling with carabiner should secure it on the kayak even if the kayak flips. Has a nice section lid to keep items separate from your phone preventing further scratches."
"This box is great. Currently using it as a small Humidor and dry box on the back of my Pelican Aegis 25L backpack. The latch is solid and delivers a solid package overall. Of course you always want it to have a little bit more space but very satisfied right now."
"Awesome cigar case. Perfect for what I want and need. Great size and extremely durable."
"It is a Pelican case, of course it is good!"
"It’s a little smaller than the R60, but it’s perfect for traveling"
"Not disappointed in any way whatsoever with this purchase. Completely lives up to Pelicans reputation for high quality ruggedness."
"First case arrived with the incorrect o-ring. This should have been immediately apparent to even a casual observer as several inches of o-ring were hanging outside of the case. Somehow it was assembled and subsequently shipped this way. I called, asked them to send me the correct o-ring, emailed a picture to confirm the defect. Instead of simply sending the correct part, they required me to box up the case and drive over to ship it back. Poor quality control, just a dumb resolution process. I bought two cases for my camera equipment shortly after this purchase, but purchased from SKB based on this experience."
"Sat in my rucksack with my phone and power bank for 4 days. Didnt cave in on itself and sustained no damage except one of the rubber net pegs inside. It snapped when placing my phone in it. I didnt feel like it was too rough with it however I bought it to keep my items damaged free and it was certainly up to the task. Very sturdy. Little headier than I expected but all in all Im very happy I went with pelican instead of Walmart brand garbage."
"The quality of this Ruck Case is top notch. I bought it to use as a travel humidor and it excels in this capacity with a tray with straps to hold lighters and cutters and a silicone type material across the top that is perfect for holding humidity packs. The advertisement stated it would hold approximately ten (10) cigars and it might if you smoke smaller ring gauge cigars but if your smoking 52’s or above in ring gauge your not gonna fit 10. Other than that I think it is a great travel humidor and I wish Pelican would include a piece of para cord so that’s you could fashion a carry handle if needed."
"Great product. Plenty of room for my cigars."
