Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year.

Comments about Pelican 1020 Case with Carabiner:

What can I say? Almost everyone needs at least one Pelican case if you spend time in the outdoors, traveling, or in any activity in or near the water. Nowadays, it is rare that someone doesn't have at least some vital or delicate electronics with them (GPS, cell phone, digital camera, iPod, emergency locator beacon, radio, Bluetooth headsets, spare batteries) or some document or personal item that they wish to keep protected and dry (passport, visa, birth certificate, photos, ID, memory cards, travelers cheques, flashdrives, etc). You can go with the Zip-loc baggie or flimsy nylon wallet and take your chances, or you can opt to invest in this virtually indestructible box which serves as your safe redoubt within your luggage. I personally have 5 of them, different sizes, to fit my various electronics and things that I need to keep dry and protected, and they have served me well through many, many miles of travel, use and abuse. They are very high quality and very well made for rugged use. I've never had one "fail" yet, and I can tell you that it is the standard issue among professionals that know what works and what doesn't. Although I am intimately familiar with the size and shape of each of my Pelican cases now, the clear Lexan lids are helpul in quickly identifying it's contents, or in actually leaving a device like a GPS or cell phone "on" and reading the display through the lid.

Not waterproof

Comments about Pelican 1020 Case with Carabiner:

I purchased the Pelican 1020 case to protect a small external hard drive from water during emergencies such as floods and other disasters. When I received it, I noticed that the foam insert actually forms a crucial part of the seal. So if you think you can remove the foam, think again - it's required, it forms the O-ring seal. I confirmed this just now when I called Pelican to confirm it. One other thing Pelican said, which surprised me: These cases are NOT supposed to be immersion proof. They are designed to float, and are water resistant. But they are not designed to be held underwater. This startled me, because I bought this thing based on it being "watertight" as the specs page says. "Watertight" is not the same as "water resistant". If you are hoping to protect your valuables from any kind of dunking (including immersion) then you probably need to get something else which actually says specifically that it is made to for immersion to some depth. The lady I just spoke to asserted that all Pelican products fall under the "not immersion proof" category, so just be aware of that. And REI, maybe you should make this more clear in your product description? I imagine quite a lot of people buy these things to protect delicate gear in ALL SORTS of conditions. It's a little silly to imagine that these conditions might exclude being completely immersed for some period under water.

Comments about Pelican 1020 Case with Carabiner:

Bought to keep my phone and small digital camera safe on the deck of my kayak. I had both secured under a bungie with the carabiner also secured to a bungie. It slipped out and one end hit the water but the carabiner held it on. the bottom was in the water less than 5 seconds and $500 worth of phone and camera were destroyed by the uninhibited flow of water that rushed into the "sealed" case. Bummer

Comments about Pelican 1020 Case with Carabiner:

I FELT I HAD TO WRITE THIS AFER READING THE TWO NEGATIVE REVIEWS. PERHAPS THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE AN INSERT IN THE SMALL CASES EXPLAINING PROPER USE AS THE LARGER CASES CONTAIN. I BOUGHT A LARGER CASE WITH THE FOAM INSERT FOR MY FILM CAMERA SO WHEN I BOUGHT MY DIGITAL CAMERA I NEEDED A NEW SMALLER CASE. THE COLORED INSERT MUST REMAIN IN THE CASE SINCE THAT IS PART OF THE SEAL. AND YOU ALSO MUST BE VERY CAREFUL THAT NO SMALL SAND OR DIRT PARTICLES INTERFERE WITH THAT SEAL OR IT COULD INDEED LEAK. I AM WONDERING IF THE TWO REVIEWERS THAT HAD BAD EXPERIENCES HAD ONE OF THOSE ISSUES WITH THEIRS AND THAT WAS WHY THEIR CONTENTS WERE DAMAGED. THESE ARE GREAT CASES AND COME IN A VARIETY OF SIZES SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND ONE FOR WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS ARE.
