Harbor Freight has nearly identical cases to the Pelican that are a lot cheaper. I recently used one mounted on the front of a bike that I converted to electric, with the battery and motor controller jammed inside. They occasionally go on sale, and I wiped out their inventory the last two times I went as they don't seem to carry a lot at once. Hopefully I'll get around to making a cyberdeck out of one.


I sure wouldn't use the harbor freight pelican knockoffs if I need a big case, they're too cheap and flimsy, but for a small case they're okay. You still need to pay the real pelican price if you are buying something bigger like a 1510, 1535, 1620, 1637.

The smallest one was recently on sale for $11.99 with foam and is great for small fragile things.
