About the SKB i Series Waterproof Hard Carry Case
The SKB i Series Waterproof Hard Carry Case represents a top-tier solution in protective equipment transportation, engineered for professionals who require absolute reliability and security for sensitive or valuable gear in the harshest conditions. Constructed from a proprietary, rotationally molded Polyethylene material, these cases offer an exceptional balance of high-impact resistance and relatively lightweight portability compared to traditional metal cases. The i Series is distinguished by its fully submersible waterproof rating, achieved through an integrated, gasketed tongue-and-groove lid design and automatic pressure equalization valves. These features ensure that the interior remains completely dry and dust-free, whether the case is exposed to torrential rain, is being hosed down on a film set, or accidentally submerged during marine or field operations, providing peace of mind for the transport of electronics, camera systems, scientific instruments, or military equipment.
The case's functionality extends beyond its core protective shell to a highly configurable and user-friendly design. The interior features a customizable foam system, typically a pick-and-pluck cubed foam block, allowing users to create a perfectly fitted compartment for each piece of equipment, eliminating internal movement that could cause damage during transit. The exterior is equipped with robust, stainless-steel hardware, including positive-locking latches that provide a secure, airtight seal with minimal effort, and padded, ergonomic handles for comfortable carrying. Additional features often include recessed panel-mount points for adding padlocks for extra security, optional wheels and a telescoping handle for larger models, and strategically placed tie-down points for strapping the case to vehicles or storage areas.
Designed to meet stringent military specifications for durability (exceeding MIL-STD-810 ratings in many tests), the SKB i Series is built to withstand extreme temperatures, corrosive salt spray environments, and rough handling. Its structural rigidity protects against crushing forces, while the molded-in texture provides a secure grip and helps conceal scuffs and scratches from heavy use. By combining military-grade protective engineering with thoughtful ergonomic details and interior customization, the SKB i Series provides a definitive, go-anywhere enclosure that safeguards critical gear from the compounded hazards of travel, weather, and accident, making it an indispensable asset for touring musicians, broadcast engineers, first responders, and expeditionary crews.
