OT - Storm cases by Hardigg Industries

G'day, I'm looking at buying a Storm case made by Hardigg Industries from Sth Deerfield MA The one I am looking at is the iM2400. I fly night freight (in Metros) and am sick and tired of having bags for charts, calculator,approach plates etc etc wear out after a very short time. Literally fall to bloody pieces. Admitedly the bags get a hard time and the storm case may be over kill but at least I think it would last. Not cheap either, $Aust 340 and available off the net. Has anyone had experience with these. Have had help from here before and am long time lurker. Regards, Mac. PS Calculator is HP32S2 - Thanks Fitch!

Look at pelican cases. Just as durable and half the price. I sell them all the time to my corporate clients.

Good cases. Excellent hard use gun cases, though a bit heavy.

I have a guncase that Id closed when about 10,000 feet up a mountain, and when I got home, I had to drill a small hole in the case, as the bleeder valve had gotten plugged up. Had a pretty good pressure differential there for about 3 days.

I love the last 3 words of their guarantee: "This guarantee is void only if the Pelican? product has been abused beyond normal and sensible wear and tear. The guarantee does not cover shark bite, bear attack and children under five."

P.S: Pedroman, why don't they have pricing and/or dealer references on their site? They don't even HINT at it.

Five actually.

The fifth one is the real test.

Isn't that the same as "child-proof"?

No. Postdoctoral fellows (aka postdocs) have a desperate, urgent need to accomplish their goals in one year. They *will* swipe anyones stuff, or destroy anything in their path, if it means getting one iota closer to their goal.

Sounds like a 4-year old kid with the exception of the time frame. The kid wants it NOW!

A CF (er, cluster something) of PHDs who had me design a site for them a little over a year ago. Getting info from them has been agonizingly slow and fraught with danger and idiocy. I think I'd rather work for ex-cons next time. ;) The lady I'm working with is now going for her fud (PHD), and she's a bit more sane until she gets in "gotta finish the dissertation" mode.
