Read More I am a student and my backpack is an extension of myself. It carries the things I use every day, sometimes, and things I hope not to use. I have several Pelicans, and prefer them over "other" waterproof boxes, due to the quality and functionality (especially the latch). I use this Pelican for my backpack first-aid kit. I originally had my first aid stuff in a soft-shelled organizer, but the supplies were deteriorating from getting squished. Yes, Pelicans are heavy, and it would be lighter to put my supplies in a simple plastic box, but I choose the rugged Pelican. It can rest at the bottom of my pack getting thudded on the ground and packed upon from above, and I know both the container will last and the contents inside. -

Read More i'm a photographer and just recently got a gopro hd camera for snowboarding trips. i used this for my external power supply to recharge the camera. this was the perfect size for the external battery and this sealed out any moisture or water or snow. i carried it inside my backpack and used the carabiner to attach to inside strap. i also used it to hold my memory cards for my dslr. great protector.

Read More If you search the Pelican 1040 case on the REI website. It comes up under the category of: "Paddling > Paddling Bags and Cases > Waterproof Cases" If you fail to click on the product "Details, Tab", REI states: Offering outstanding protection to your valuables, this case is water-resistant, dustproof and has an automatic pressure purge valve. In researching Pelicans website, they specifically state: Micro cases are not meant to be used while swimming and shouldn't be submerged. I feel that is easy to assume that the Pelican case is waterproof on the REI website. Sadly the case is not waterproof. Over the weekend my wife used the Pelican 1040 Micro case to store her smartphone. The case became submerged in a couple of inches of water. When she opened the case, she found water and her smart phone was ruined. Ouch!!! I will be returning the case to REI for a refund.
