you forgot about bear attacks!

I have a Pelican laptop case, thing has been smashed around and only has some very minor scratches on it, have had it for a year now. Warranty says if it breaks, they will replace it, forever, but in fine print it says the warranty is void in the case of shark bites, bear attacks, and children under 5. Don't ask me...

The Pelican cases don't look like the STAR cases, it fact the STAR cases look like Pelican cases. The pelican line of cases is what STAR based their design off of, they aren't nearly the same quality of course but still fairly decent. I think my laptop case is guaranteed against a 20 foot drop onto concrete without damaging anything inside, floats with up to 17lbs of stuff inside, waterproof to 30 feet or something, pressure equalizing membrane so if you change altitude the fact that the case is sealed doesn't mean it will suction close or blow open. Its made of fiber reinforced structural foam injected molded plastic so it can easily stand up to being run over by a hummer or other large vehicles and remain rigid. Pelican simply makes damn fine cases, looking into getting a 1720 case for my AEG's (the 1750 wont fit into many car trunks, need a truck.)

And if you need a Pelican case with a custom interior, there is a Canadian company that can do it and do often work making custom inserts for firearms so talking about guns with them is no big deal. http://www.customcaseco.com/
